Re: books on board . com ?

Lots of grocery stores sell DVD players these days, but I see your 
point.  I have always thought
the problem lies with the term eBook, which I think is nondescript and 
not terribly appealing.
Audio book or talking book leaves one with no doubts as to the product, 
but eBook?
Obviously the corollary is e-mail, but that has been with us far longer, 
and doesn't have
a confusing near-twin on the Internet.  Suzanne
