[WEB4LIB] Re: NYT magazine piece on e-books

[Sue Kamm]

If e-books are indeed the wave of the future, why is that printers and printing
costs are such an issue in libraries?  The clients in the public libraries where
I work print out Pokemon characters, superheroes, and answers to research
queries.

Until the time when computers are as small and inexpensive as calculators, and
there's an easy connection between library computers and the hand-held machines,
people are still going to want hard copies.
