diglib: An interesting reading device from HP

[Robert Felsing <felsing@OREGON.UOREGON.EDU>]

Recently a multitude of ebook reading devices have come out (and one has 
gone -- the rocket/gemstar ebook reader died).  This one from Hewlett 
Packard  seems notable in that it appears to be a prototypical application 
of the fabled e-ink.

The market for ebooks is still small but no longer insignificant.  This 
market consistently registers growth while the rest of publishing is 
noticeably flat.  The next few years will be interesting.
