Will everything eventually be available online, yes; will it be cheaper online, again, yes. But as long as POD keeps getting cheaper and there are consumers for the print platform, print will not be dead.Karina MikhliSat, 07 Jun 2008 22:25:01 -0000http://www.socialtimes.com/2008/06/is-there-no-balance-between-new-old-media/#comment-1574871The kindle is fine and all, but it should be able to use for free any text content that I can get for free using my computer. And technical manuals that I download as ordinary pdfs, whether free or purchased, should display on it.<br><br>If they do that, I'll probably get one.CharlieSat, 07 Jun 2008 01:52:26 -0000
