A normal paperback novel only takes me 2-3 hours of dedicated reading to finish, so most of my books come from &quot;goodwill&quot; type stores at $.50 each.<br/><br/>I have downloaded a decent reader app for my Motorola Droid (&quot;Aldiko&quot;), which has quite a few free book downloads available, and there's enough free content out there (Baen books as Luke mentioned above, Project Gutenberg, etc) to keep me going for quite a while. (Conversion to epub format done by &quot;Calibre&quot; on my Windows PC if needed, which can also collect and convert emagazines and newspaper feeds)<br/><br/>The iPad has a potential niche in replacing magazines, and other graphic-intensive print formats, but I suspect Students will still be better off with a notebook that can handle multiple tasks, rather than having multiple expensive specialized units.]]></description></item><item><title>Till comments on The choice for me: fruit-free</title><author>Till</author><pubDate>Fri, 29 Jan 2010 21:23:56 +0000</pubDate><link>http://www.1bag1world.com/blog/2010/1/28/the-choice-for-me-fruit-free.html#comments</link><guid isPermaLink="false">134830:1217747:comment/7098411</guid><description><![CDATA[Luke, very interesting point. What you say about DRM is how I think it would be implemented for the books. You OWN them. And you are allowed to make at least one or two copies (perhaps without annotation and search features?) and you can also sell the original. How that would need to be impicated in practice I don't know but it should be doable. Interesting also about ebean. I will check that out. The thing is, if the prices are that much lower (half) and the features and advantages that great, I will gladly trust Apple that they won't delete the book from my online shelf. After all, why would they?]]></description></item><item><title>Chris comments on The choice for me: fruit-free</title><author>Chris</author><pubDate>Fri, 29 Jan 2010 17:13:21 +0000</pubDate><link>http://www.1bag1world.com/blog/2010/1/28/the-choice-for-me-fruit-free.html#comments</link><guid isPermaLink="false">134830:1217747:comment/7095852</guid><description><![CDATA[I agree completely with Till.  For Academic texts this will most likely be a huge thing!  I think that the Kindle DX from Amazon was trying to do a similar thing, speaking of which, I think the iPad is going to kill the DX (I imagine that will be getting a price cut soon).<br/>While I am a die-hard Kindle (not-DX) fan, I can see a change coming in what books will be like in the future. I'm not sure what they will be called, but they certainly won't be anything like books. A combination of books, videos, games, interaction (changing plot lines).  It will be interesting.<br/>Oh - I still like paper books too, it's known as &quot;Picard's Syndrome&quot;, and, I suffer from it occasionally (I like to visit the Public Library).  However, for traveling - there is nothing like an E-Reader.]]></description></item></channel></rss>
