E-Books can be used as grenades in times of need

As I struggle through yet another 14000 page book that details the complete history of the printing press I'm often left wondering wouldn't life be so much easier with an E-book. I mean the thing weighs very little and can do all kinds of funky stuff like display images and stuff. Upon reading that, my first thought was that people are guaranteed to start using these things for porn. In fact without porn I'd say these E-books are doomed to failure. They do claim to have removed the problems with normal portable screens, that after a while your eyes go haywire and you start seeing Gary Coleman in every image, so I guess thats a bonus. Still I suppose you could always peg it as someone and hope it exploded.

Thanks Ingi and the internets!
