    Hey, Ralf, I don't know, but if you do, don't hesitate, and spell it out! :)

    Possibilities for eBooks other than just books:

    - repair instructions on demand
    - car manual with on-demand updates (and different languages); always a big issue in the car plant to put the "right" manual (language) in the "fitting" car
    - room schedules in universities and companies (automatically updating through embedded systems)
    - ...
    - WHAT is YOUR example of the FUTURE of PAPER?
