Jim,
Good talking to you again!
I agree, if the technology allows the transfer to digital format, then it
would be simple to transfer to the next newer technology.
The point is, however (ref the Library of Congress thread that started
this) that they don't have the funds to put the books on CD-ROM to begin
with.
Who knows what new technology will come down the pike? If you've watched
"Third Generation", Cmdr. Data can read and store a book simply by flipping
the pages at light speed.
Should we wait for Data?
Rgds
