[QUOTE="shadzar, post: 5428041, member: 6667746"] Good luck with that as e-readers time has done come and gone because they were too slow considering more functioning fuil computers can do the same thigns and are coming out as tablet PCs that wont cost too much more soon than those readers, so the readers prices will have to drop fast, and the things they "read" will have to compete with a harddrive that can do things offline without fear of having your "book" repossessed and deleted. Black-and-white as opposed to the calculator gray-and-white would help that emulation, but there is still problems in trying to emulate a book as a book would be with an electronic device. the only gain is the size of your bookshelf decreasing, when the electronic device can do much more, and for that price it should, but doesnt. I really mean it, good luck selling those things, as I feel bad for you. As for being backlit, that is one of the advantages the electronic device should offer, so you don't have to turn on a light since the e-readers have their own power source. Something handheld gaming systems learned decades ago so you could use the device during a power outage. I wouldn't want to try to read one by candle-light. As to what you responded to but not this point of it, I dont see the D&D product line being given to anyone else to manage in any way shape or form. If HASBRO cannot control it or it isn't under the total control of WotC, then they don't want anyone else touching it, especially not a digital format, as the recent online character builder should add that emphasis to. They jsut can't control nickle and dime-ing you themselves to take the biggest part that way and have to share the wealth. Those missing things will appear in DDi, I bet my hat on it. (If I am wrong i will have to buy a hat to give to whoever wants to oppose that bet, and it would be a cheap or ugly one, so if you one it you would have to wear it if you won it. :lol:) [/QUOTE]
