My little P990i carries at least 40 critical e-material that I can consult from for my client presentations.

The alternative is lugging around a bunch of books that will break my back!

Yet on the plane, a book is just one more thing to carry. Ebooks allow me to take as many books with me on a trip as I have time to read rather than what I can allow in my backpack or suitcase.

The point made in the article about erotica flourishing as a result of ebooks is a good one. Several of my readers will ONLY buy my ebooks, despite the fact that they can get a print copy at their local bookstore. It’s much safer to keep little eyes away from files on the computer than it is to keep them away from a book on the nightstand.

Good topic, thanks!
