This is an absolutely brilliant looking display and book reader. If, like Gizmodo says, it could take our own documents (like, say, a PDF?) I'd be all over it. It looks both very useful and very futuristic. What could be better?

Now, how do you sell your old ebooks on ebay? The used book market seems roaring these days. We've been selling a ton of books very successfully on ebay and for far more than the standard 25 cents that a used paperback used to go for. Of course, new paperbacks didn't used to be $8.50, either, but it's still amazing. But seriously, if you buy used books and then sell them you can almost stay even and if you buy new you can recover half the cost much of the time. How can this be done with ebooks? What about the library? Are ebooks only for those that can (and want) to spend the money? While these questions remain, the paper form will live on (there might be a couple of other reasons, too).
