Being a long-standing book lover with a collection that I like to stand and stare at proudly, I have mixed feelings about e-books and electronic ink.Would I rather have all the books in my collection available on a device like SONY's Libri? No. But as well as having all the physical tomes on my bookshelf, I would appreciate having digital versions of the text that I could search etc. (The etc. part could be more than adequately covered by a tool like Frode's Hyperwords.)
I wonder whether we will one day get an access code with each book we buy allowing us to download a personal digital copy of the text?
