And while the devices’ prices have certainly decreased (in direct proportion to the increase of their speed, thanks to Moore’s law), the overall experience hasn’t substantially changed. Even with the newer and hipper devices, such as the Cool-Er and the iRex iLiad, consumers are still merely turning virtual pages instead of holding a physical book. These may be sexier gadgets, but the real problem is that the digital experience—as it exists now—suffers in comparison when compared to the analog. Until e-books finally start to do things that physical books can’t do, I don’t see this changing.
