It might be cool when they start making them with PC type functionality, so you can make notes and such in the margins with a stylus. A lot of the reading instruction I do involves kids keeping track of their thinking and reading strategies via sticky notes while reading, so it would definitely be advantageous to be able to do it that way. That being said, I can't stand reading anything of length on a computer. There's just something that's more satisfying about the tactile nature of a book.
