Thanks for posting this link. I can't wait to learn more about this topic. E-books are amazing! And once Apple lends its talents to this arena, you just know wonderful things are going to happen. I know there are pros and cons to e-books. But the accessibility, portability, lower cost and functionality of e-books are very positive factors.
