Maybe someday they'll just put those books onto the asus e pc

But, how will the publishers make money? That raises the DRM spectre

Well, I bought Martin Aspeli's excellent "Professional Plone Programming" -
the first computer text I've bought in near a decade (outside the ones
required for courses I've taken) - in PDF format. Since I know two other
people who've bought it (one in paper, one electronic), rather than badger
me for a copy, I guess it can't be too bad a way to sell a book.
