[Publib] Bringing back the e-book reader?

[Judy Anderson]

These sound potentially better. But they are very expensive. I also wonder 
if they are going to be compatible with other systems or if they have the 
same problem of the old ones as well as the limited number of readings per 
item a lot of them apparently had.
