Though actually it isn't eBooks themselves I hate so much, as it is the way publishers handle them. Proprietary encrypted formats (which you can be certain not to be able to read 20 years down the road), often no way to copy/paste or print text... It's not good. Having an electronic version of stories definitely is a great goodness though. As Thomas mentioned in another reply: grepping! Tad Williams is publishing Shadowmarch - http://www.shadowmarch.com - in pure HTML, and almost every week I find myself grepping through the text in search of all references to this or that obscure item or person. That way I do like the concept of online publishing (even though it's still very hard on your eyes), but publishers unfortunately seem incapable of trusting readers as Tad does. May you always find shade and water, Sander
