Nicholas Negroponte (of the OLPC project) weighed in on the issue of electronic books. His standpoint is that physical books are going to be considered a luxury in the near future. We can get zillions of books to extremely remote places that don't even have Internet connections yet: just send them a bunch of OLPCs where each one has some books pre-loaded. The issue is, of course, getting the right materials into a language that the people in the given locale can read. (oh, and teaching them to read -- but having materials for them to read helps!)

For what it's worth, I really like ascii documents! For English at least, I suppose. Unicode for everything else, of course...

I think I want an ereader that's good at handling PDFs and big enough to read a two-column paper...
