Not much new in the article and some of it is factually incorrect, such as the Mobipocket format not being compatible with the new eBook standards that are coming, but an amusing piece none the less. Article
Substantial majorities of Americans no longer view microwaves, TVs, and air conditioning as necessities. For example, in 1996, only 32% of Americans thought a microwave was necessary. That more than doubled to 68% a decade later before dropping, thanks to the recession, to 47%. Only 52% of Americans consider a television essential, less than at any time in the last 35 years. The recession may not be the only factor: the number of people who watch streaming and downloaded videos on their computers continues to increase.
