If they make it so the device can “read” the book to you via an earpiece, with a reasonably decent “voice,” my volume of “reading” would increase exponentially. And even with a computer reading voice, this would be superior to MP3 books if I can also follow along with the printed word, or stop the reading and scroll back a page or two to see something I didn’t quite understand.
I might even get through this copy of “Risk Management” if the device can convert text to speech in any voice other than my own. :-)
I like that you can lend books you bought to your friend who also has one. While it’s lent they can read the book but you can’t, until they return it and the rights revert to you.
