Current eReaders are barely good enough for straight narrative text. Illustrations, tables, cross-referencing are not strong suits. Yet.

We're doing it again on April 14th, so hopefully you can make it. Or better yet...maybe you'd even do a presentation?<br><br>**hint** Being able to host it at your place was a perfect bit of when worlds collide!

I'm sure it was insightful and cutting. Suffice to say, I like ebooks for reference materials — I own several gaming PDFs — but I don't think current ereaders (e-readers?) are going to do it for me. I need something it's easier to jump around within, or a device that serves my computer needs at the same time that it serves my ebook needs. My comment has gone missing.

You use the space like a physicalization of the digital -- the body pulled up from context into laughing breath! Thanks, daddio.

I like ebooks just fine, but I don't want a single device that's just for my books. I hardly even use my iPod, because I seldom just walk around listening to music. I like books as they are, and the ability to flip around, and the ability to eyeball how far I am through a chapter, and various other features of the analog tech. Still, I'm glad that we're making progress with e-readers, and I look forward to what they'll look like in three or five years.
