About a week ago (around May 10, 2007) Bill Gates said that in 5 years most of the reading done by people under 40(?) would be done on electronic devices which are wireless and have access to the Internet.
The Sony Reader's visual quality of the displayed text is close to a book.

Personally I still like the tactile feel of a book. I think somehow it brings you closer to the author. However, I do think this technology will have huge implications.
Imagine a student starting grade 9 with a device the size of paperback which holds every book (and them some) he/she will need in high school. The product may be considered green as no paper is used or tranportation - as ebooks are sent electronically over the Internet
