Here. I wish more people would get over the idea that e-books need to be like paper books, and that LCDs can’t be made eye-friendly for long periods of reading. E Ink is great, and will be greater as contrast and refresh rates improve and color is the norm; but it isn’t the only show. (Item moved up with changed time stamp.)

What ever the conclusion be, the topic seems to be interesting to many; so far, 444 comments have been posted, which is typical for a popular topic. (Political threads can run into the thousands, and uninteresting stuff sometimes doesn’t get over 50.)
Hi,
You are right. I have toiled for over a year on my book, and have decided to give it away free as an ebook. (Experiment) However, I sell many more books (Paper back) in store than I give away online. Perhaps the audience has not matured. Feel free to download my book (422 pages), at no cost. Hope you enjoy the read. http://www.vostokstation.com.au/vostok_station_ebook.pdf
from what i’ve read, many people at /. dont know about ePaper technology yet.
