Nonsense about e-books. Nobody's going to read an entire book on screen. There was a good article about this just a couple of days ago. People will not read more than a couple of screenfuls of text, studies show. I keep finding two page articles about the Cinci Bengals printed out of some Web page every week of the year in the men's stall at this hi tech outfit.

I don't think so, either, unless the technology changes and you can print out a book for a reasonable cost, or some similar and yet-unimagined change in format. But, then, there was a time I never expected to get to read the Wash Times online.

I can unequivocally state you are wrong.
I have and have friends who have read entire ebooks.

Now if you were to say most people don't, or that they are not popular yet, that would be a fact I could not argue with, but I can state, and prove with 100% certainty that some people do read ebooks.
Respectfully
