I agree but thats the question of choice. I frequently commute with my
laptop and have all the electronic versions on it. I can open *any*
book anytime I feel like it.  In addition, all MSDN magazines are
available for download but for some reason I like reading the real
MSDN magazine as opposed to being on my under 3lb X60 Lenovo laptop.

I wonder how many more years it will take before they make electronic
readers like Kindle effective enough before we can stop killing trees for
good.


I think the technology still needs to evolve. Even though my laptop is
2.8lb, I rather carry something lighter and possibly in my pocket. I
dont like Kindle mainly because its only for reading. Netbooks are
good but they are still evolving and not that powerful yet.

As for reading electornically, either I dont know or its not
available, I find the lack of ability to highlight and bookmark these
books as very limiting. PDF reader wont let you touch it and I am not
going to pay for a PDF writer for this purpose.

Over time, I think everything is going to be all digital. Books will
be a rare commodity.
