Amazon just released the Kindle This copycat of the (my) Iliad will finally do for books what the iPod did for music. I am certain that we are witnessing a  revolution and I expect in three years this is the common way of reading books.
With the power of Amazon and the low price and range of its ebooks we have everything to make it happen.
I am very happy with my Iliad and up till now I collected 2.500 e-books - So enough to read for a life time... :-)
