Prior Art: Sliced Books
Another billion dollar idea here folks.
Currently, I am reading a hard cover book that is nearly 1000 pages long. Amazon pegs its weight at 2.8 pounds. Now that’s a hefty chunk of words to be throwing in my messenger bag and toting around all day to read on the MAX or at lunch.
So, here it is. Sliced Books. Allow me to purchase a volume where the binding is designed to cleanly separate into more manageable chunks – 100 pages or so. Then, I can just grab the volume that I am on, and am good to go.
As always, if you are a book publisher and you use this idea, I want my vig!

I remember my mom doing this with
Shogun when I was a kid. She cut the book when she was half way through it. She actually let her friend (my godmother) borrow the first half of the book while she was finishing the second.
hmmm… books are already lent freely to others. I wonder if this would encourage it. Perhaps make someone who was noncommittal more apt to try something since it would seem like a smaller commitment.
