Why e-books will soon be obsolete (and no, it’s not just because of DRM)
Ok, I support this article. HOWEVER a system that relies on PDF and it’s limited accessibility is doomed. HTML 5 has higher potential but as the owner of a wi-fi only not-always-connected device online support needs to be more than “embryonic” to work. Still, short article worth a read.
