New ways to read old materials
The whole idea of reading stuff on the screen is obvious to me, although I don’t (yet) own one of the fancier gadgets that the marketplace keeps pushing out, one innovative idea after another. I tried to get into the habit with a used Palm Pilot which was acquired on eBay, but there are more important things to do with that tiny screen, ( like controlling shortwave radios). I read online newspapers, every day, and the odd book has been perused, thanks to the unsung heros of the Usenet. I even own a scanner, although the lack of Twain drivers for Vista, or any support under Linux leave me perplexed. What if I could leave the biomass of dreams between covers stored in my basement, and convert the important titles to something easily stored on the Net?
