So the eBook will let you replace all the paper you lug around (FARS, Approach Plates, Airport Directory, Encyclopedia, etc). I think that's definately a step in the right direction. For me though, I still want GPS input so I can see where I am on that taxiway diagram.

The pace at which high technology is moving into our cockpits is staggering. I remember when I thought my Garmin 55 AVD was the end-all device, never need anything again after that. And now... wow.

I had to organize, pack, and carry every approach book and every chart (high and low) for the entire US on a trip a few weeks ago. Oh how nice it'd be to have a 5GB CF card and this 1/2" thick reader!!!! I'll even buy it myself if they'll let me use it!
