Do books really need technology?
anna thinks: Yes, They are invaluble for those with physical handicaps,hospital patients who do not have any real choice other than whatever their visitor brings, sometimes none at all. Who wants to carry in their weight allowance on flights a pile of books? Great for subliminal studying, better still insert a brain chip! We do need to top up all aspects of information to provide a considered opinion, maybe we would be better at negotions if we read/listened to cultural and religious backgrounds?

Do books really need technology?
anna thinks: I agree with the ecological points of B. My Ideal would be to have a code with it so I can fit a microphone/s to my mobile telephone and listen to the contents hands free---i.e. on the beach!

dhama thinks: Making things easier doesn't always make things better, however there are times when either electronic form or paper printed form are very useful for the job in hand. The point of new technology is not always to replace old technolgy, but to enhance the user experience or usefulness of it for any given purpose.

Do books really need technology?
Simpler thinks: If the e-book device didnt have all the usual eletronic illnesses, such as clunky adapters, pc drivers, incompatible file formats, low battery life and poor contrast then yes. In theory this would be great. Lets see how many generations of products it will take before we are there. I will not be buying the first generations but waitings for most books to be available for the e-book and a device that works wirelessly and without any setup from my side. Hopefully I dont even have to buy it but can wait for my book club to lend me one. Oh, and I also need to be able to drop it on the floor without breaking it...

jtstobbs thinks: Books are my comfort zone, when the world kicks you in the teeth, the best thing i find is to disappear into the world of books. So you need to hold them find a comfortable spot and shut everything else out - even just for a while
