I know that just about every element of
this idea is baked to a crispy goodness,
and is just about everywhere in
cyberspace. What just hasn't happened yet
is a downloadable telephone reference,
along with an e-book reader device. The
paper being saved with the use of such a
device is mind
boggling. I'd like the e-
book device to have the rugged look and
simplicity of an actual phone book, with a
small typewriter to look things up. I know
this can be done on a computer just about
anywhere online, but that's not the point
here. anyone with or without a computer
should be able to afford a simple device
(maybe include an e-ink display, see link)
with input for searches, and the device
would be able to recieve updates on the fly
(not just once a year).
