I hated carrying my books to school and back in High School and Middle School - I wished for those "cool star-trek notepad/book" that they always flung around when making reports.Now that book lugging is behind me, I dont think I'd ever want one of those pad things in the place of a book. There is a value to being able to leaf idling through a book, being able to grip the sides in anticipation of turning the next page, the silent calls that your favorite book sitting on your desk whispers. Technology advances however, and as it sits now I find it hard to believe that books will be around much longer. Heck, a PDA can hold the SRD, a few OCR issues of dragon, and my notes for my campaign. With the size of computers shrinking dramatically in addition to their cost, the growing concern for trees and the environment, and the abhorrence of many of the chemicals used to make the paper products pretty and white, there is no way that books will become anything but luxury.Back on topic, if his horrible event comes true, I do not see LGS surviving. It you establish a presence online, you do have a higher possibility of surviving. Some where down the road, when you have to download your books, you may be able to get a piece of the market.Erge</blockquote>
