The new Kimble EReader by Amazon

Trysail's objections-- indexes, forematter, backmatter-- surely these can be made simply available by intelligent programmers?

On the Kindle you change pages by pushing buttons located on the side.

Ergonomic Design

We wanted Kindle to be as easy to hold and use as a book, so we designed it with long-form reading in mind. When reading for long periods of time, people naturally shift positions often. Kindle's full-length, vertical page-turning buttons are located on either side, allowing you to read and turn pages comfortably from any position. Navigation on both sides means both "lefties" and "righties" can easily use Kindle with one hand. And at only 10.3 ounces, Kindle is lighter and thinner than a typical paperback.

I also agree that as soon as one of these E-readers becomes user friendly it will only be a matter of time until they are used in schools. Kids are techno-freaks and schools will be willing to utilize that to get them interested in reading. Once that happens our way of reading books will be changed forever.
