I haven't done extensive research into the economics, but with those little zip drives running at pennies to produce, I imagine that the ability to do it is within acceptable costs. I'm sure it would take a couple of houses who's job it would be to flash them with the proper contents and certainly some adjusting on the production side for books (unless they went with the CD option - then the tech and processes are already there). Maybe in a few years every book will have the data imprinted right onto/into the book cover with a little flip-out connector that you'd plug right into your reader or pc... Thanks Bill John,

I'm not sure the economics of it would work out, but it is still intriguing. Sorry the comment ability blew up. Good points, and an interesting idea.
