Re: ebooks - I've read some ebooks on an iPad, and I can see myself doing some of my reading there,
I'd read comics on iPads, but not prose books. I think it is a practical way to convey comics, that could save that industry.
Still, the devil's advocate in me whispers "I wonder if someone, upon seeing their first story written down on papyrus, argued that it would never be as good as hearing the actual bard telling the story. The words lie there flat and lifeless, mashed down and devoid of any feeling.".
Moveable type was once hailed as the end of literature.
