It is only a question of time until the device is combined with an MP3 player so the customer can hear as well as see. Put a boys' adventure story on it with sound effects and a dramatic reading and some kids might read along and get hooked on reading.

I have a hobby of reading books that somehow catch my interest into my computer where they can be transferred to my MP3 player. Here in Germany the local radio is sometimes not appealing so I ride down the road listening to the sound of my own voice-what could be more sublime!
It is extraordinary how little appreciation my wife and kids have for this practice.

Also, what no one else has mentioned or thought of is that this technology could signal a rebirth of the old school newspaper industry.
Think of it...plug this gizmo into your USB port, access the NY Times (G-d forbid) website, or some other and download today's edition...as part of your subscription or simply use a credit card or PayPal to buy a single issue that will expire in say...one week. Has possibilities I think.
