W: Good evening, Mr. Brown, and welcome to the program.
M: Thank you!
W: I wonder if you could tell listeners more about the work you do?
M: Certainly.
W: Mr. Brown, I gather that you work for a company developing software for reading electronic books?
M: That is so.
W: Do you think there is much future in that?
M: Well, people buy music online, so why not books?
W: You have to read electronic books on a machine, don’t you?
M: That is so, although of course you might be able to print them out on a printer.
W: So why should people read a book on an expensive machine when they can buy a cheap copy and carry it around with them and read it whenever they like?
M: That is an interesting point. People need time to become aware of the value of e-books.
