ing digitaltextbooks on ponable devices.They will wantto buyotherbooksto takewiththem."

Several factors will drive the growth of the digital book market, Madachlan predicted. Besides the fa«t that millions of consumers are

buyingbooksonline already,the convenience of the Internet means used books always willbe

available. "No book wilL ever go out of print," h silld.

The addition of niche books that may previously not have been widely or easily available wouldmean more contentto choosefrom, which could in turn attract non-readers, Maclachlan said. "The main factor will be the standardization af, probably, two platforms: Adobe's PDF and Micros oft Reader," he continued."The big thing thatpushed online music forward was the standardization of MP3." Unlike the music industry, the digital book business is not plagued by piracy, so far. Maclachlan said no one is scanning pages af booksand magazines and placing them on the Internet,mos tly because even the best opticalscanning technology has a five percent failure rate. "Publishers are much more proactive about attachingthis market than the music industry was,"he said."They know thattraditionalbooks are often read by multiple people anyway, so they are looking into «reative ways to monetize the steps when e-books are passed along."

IDC said both Amazon.«om and

Barnesandnoble. com have made deals that will fadlit ate the marketsfordigitalbooks and ondemand printing. According to Maclachlan, printing on demand will grow more quickly than e-books in the near term, but will not be as big in the long term. "There will be an initial upsurge because there is a backlog of unpublished manuscripts writers want published. Print-on-demand is

almost like a demo album for (musicians]," he said. "We see print-on-demand as bringing in aboutUS$200 miUion by 2004.A few yearsfram now,however,we wiU not even think of it asa

I csn honestly and pmudly say my Voodoo PC is thebestcomputer fvs everowned land as sloagtime gamer with chronic upgrade fever, I' ve owned s few in my time.) Voodoo's attention to detail is what surprised me the most. Everything fiom the super-slick online ordering menu to the way the system is packaged for shipping shows a level of quality contml that's not easy to come by. Take a look at tbe inside of a Voodoo PC snd notice how the technicians carefully wrap and tuck each and every internal cable out of the way. This craRsmsn-like approach to assembling systems, and the mind-boggling amount of time they spend building each computer, blew me away. I also loved the fact that Voodoo camas the kind of high-end components I wanted for my system, and that they install, test and retest everything before the system ships. Knowiag

PERFECT 1D

you' re buying a PC that's going to work absolutely flawlessly straight out of the box makes for some truly welcome peace of mind.
