14 DAY TRIAL // E-books are supposed to be convenient because they can be downloaded online at any time, but Norwegian retailer Norli Libris wants to turn e-books into physical commodities, so to speak.
That is to say, it wants to sell e-books, one at a time, on memory cards.
More precisely, it has small, plastic cards that hold one file each and are supposed to be placed inside the slot on the back of the Kibano Digi Reader.
The price will be the same as what one would pay for downloading the books online.
As such, we can't help but wonder, like our peers here, if there is really a point to all this.
Norli Libris even wants for everyone in the industry to start doing this, but we can't really imagine e-book memory cards ending up as common as actual books did after the printing press was invented.
