		<outline text="&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nytimes.com/2001/08/30/opinion/L30BOOK.html&quot;&gt;The readers of the NY Times&lt;/a&gt; discuss the failure of E-books to gain traction in the market. My own two cents. As a forty-something, my eyes are getting weaker, so I would love to use this technology if it allows me to adjust the size of the type. I tend to favor books with larger type, they're easier for me to read. The reason I haven't adopted it is two-fold. 1. I don't like how they've been marketed, mostly as a solution to problems that the publishers have (extensive copy protection) and  2. my belief that most books are not available for the readers. "/>
