All they have in common is being controlled by humans. iPod = passive drool cup interaction. ebook = interaction requiring mastery of abstract concepts, concentration. I wish they were in the $100 dollar range, if they don't get down around that price point, it's hard to see wide acceptance happening. People don't read books anymore in the numbers of making a $500 purchase. //Ken sits back and waits for the inevitable "I already have a reader.

iPod = passive drool cup interaction.

ebook = interaction requiring mastery of abstract concepts, concentration.
