We are University of Pennsylvania students doing a marketing project for electronic books and would appreciate if you would take a few minutes to read the following short description and answer the following questions. POCKET-SIZED ELECTRONIC BOOK A pocket-sized electronic book allows you to search and retrieve instant information. It is available in two different versions: Merriam-Webster Dictionary and Holy Bible King James Version. On the back of each electronic dictionary or Bible, there is an open slot to insert an additional cartridge. Adding an additional cartridge allows you to search and retrieve instant information from two books at the same time. For example, If you are reading a passage from the electronic Bible and you found a word confusing, you can find the meaning of that word by inserting the dictionary cartridge into the back of the electronic Bible. There are many cartridge titles to choose from, including food guides, games, encyclopedias, medical manuals as well as a host of other titles. The prices of the cartridges range from $20 to $60 each. The pocket-sized electronic book is portable, convenient and easy to use. What do you think about this concept? How much do you think it costs? Would you purchase it this price? Where would you find it? How would you use it in your everyday life? Think about the last time you needed to correctly spell a word, find a definition or synonym, or pronounce a word. How did you get the information? What, if any, are other products that you would use instead of this electronic book ? THANK YOU!!!!!!!!

Hi Dara. I would not use or purchase an electronic book as you described it. For some reason the idea of it offends my sensibilities about books and reading - I have no rational explanation for this, but I thought you would appreciate my feedback. The idea mply seems too gimicky.
