All of these articles miss the single biggest benefit of e-books, that I found a few years ago when I started buying them for my palm pilot but fell in love with the reader for the computer: You can adjust the font and the typeface size. As our cohort of boomers gets older and our eyes get worse, we can keep cranking the font size. No more "large type editions"- we bake our own. I think this will be their most important feature.
