Size, power and the printed word

I have just finished reading my boss's column (down below) as I start writing this Korner.
It is truely amazing how much technological advances have come.
Over the weekend I noticed many commercials on television promoting the watching of television on cell phones.
Every company promotes its phone as the best to watch your favourite shows. The irony I found was the companies making the phones have been working hard to make their phones as small and compact as can be. But over the weekend I heard one company saying, "Watch your shows on our new large 3.5 inch screen!"
Well I am sorry you can't have it both ways. You can not make the phones smaller and smaller and then promote them as having a large screen when it is only 3.5 inches. Remember, us guys have been fed "bigger is better" when it comes to tv's over the years.
50 inch plasma has been the tag line that has most guys drooling especially when football and hockey seasons arrive.
As for the e-books, I think the idea is great. However, after watching the movie The Book of Eli over the weekend the one key problem that comes to mind is, what happens when your e-reader's battery is dead and the power is out?
At least with the printed version you can read it without power, that is if the sun is shining.

–Until then,
