True. Electronic books will replace paper books. Cells with large screens already are competing with newspapers and mags as we read their online editions with WiFi. That'll eventually mean less waste and disposal. The winner in the electronic b0ok contest is likely the company that has access to the most literary resources. For now, it's Amazon. When either the Sony or the Kindle are within affordability, under $40. We'll start seeing a trend toward electronic books. Then it'll be a war among content providers. Until then, I'm happy to be listening to books on my MP3 player choosing among many websites ready to provide at low or no cost.
