...advancement and a means of increasing access to print media, which is almost never the case with the other developments in this field. In the age of the e-book and the Amazon Kindle, it is refreshing to see the actual object of the book itself revived and sustained rather than replaced and forgotten. That said, the increased access to books—especially to more seasoned titles—that the machine creates will appeal to an older generation of readers that never embraced online technology in the first place.

And then there's the fact that what the Iran threat represents is a changed game; Israel isn't the only regional player to benefit...
