The only advantage an e-reader can have over a real book, for the genreal population, is weight. So until an e-reader resembles a folded piece of stiff card, which when forded out can have a left and right page visible at the same time, I don't see it catching on. Also to be really convenient it would have to incorporate other functions such as GPS, maps, photos, video, films, tv, and be something you can write on like a piece of paper. We are a long way from this yet.The other thing which will really drive the e-book is when publishers can make more profit out of an e-book than a paper book.PeterMervynBright.co.uk
