The trend is up. The sales of e-books outpaced the expectations of many industry experts through the fall. I have trumpeted the arrival of the e-book future here to the point of pedantry. And yes, I received an e-reader for Christmas. I’m pleased and impressed with my Sony reader. I predicted that e-readers would sweep consumers off their feet on their gift-buying sprees. I’m sure I can now predict the numbers bear me out.
Today I went out in search of a protector for my e-reader. I visited several stores. They were all sold out.
Oh, sure, now it looks obvious. It didn’t look so obvious when I was telling everyone about it last summer.
“Ha!” I say, and “Ha!” again.
