it's all dumb, what you hold should be called an ebook and you download a digital copy for the ebook -- nm - J Dec 27, 12:55 8
- No, what you hold is a reader. The ebook is the electronic version of the book itself. Like a digital "War and Peace" is the ebook. -- nm - mara Dec 27, 12:57 7
  - I don't think it should even be called a reader. It'd be like calling your xbox 360 a gamer. -- nm - Loyola Dec 27, 13:16 3
    - ...or something that toasts bread a "toaster", or something that refrigerates food a "refrigerator"... -- nm - TFox Dec 27, 13:25 1
      - That would work if the reader read the books for you. -- nm - Loyola Dec 27, 13:26
    - that's what I'm thinking -- nm - J Dec 27, 13:23
  - I said should... -- nm - J Dec 27, 12:57 2
    - Yes, I know. That's what I'm disagreeing with. I don't think it should. -- nm - mara Dec 27, 12:59 1
      - I agree with maracumber -- nm - zork Dec 27, 13:10
