wrote in his Diary, "It may be that pleasure reading of, for example,
novels will remain in books; and, business material will migrate toward
electronic media."
Important, of course, is the distinction between reading for pleasure and reading for business. Jeffrey Harrow, the editor of the Rapidly Changing Face of Computing, reports how he put Nuvo Media's Rocket e-Book to the test by asking Mrs Harrow, an avid reader, to try it out. His is a glowing report on literature for pleasure offered in electronic format. Ref. http://www.fleabyte.org/archives-rcfoc-2000-1.html#RCFoC-100100 a couple of paragraphs down.
