Maybe when OLEDs become commonplace I'll start using some sort of digital format for casual reading (provided the content is available). Until then, dead trees for me!

Yeah, power is a huge problem that I don't see being solved any time either. I don't want to have to periodically recharge my book. If the power requirements can get really low, maybe a reader could work with solar cells like many handheld calculators use. Of course, that's just a pipe dream right now...
