...true, but what will this transformation mean for readers? Faced with an ever lengthening list of titles, many of dubious merit, readers may have to turn themselves into literary search engines. On the bright side, personal favorites that are noncommercial will never be more than a mouse click away. It's a confusing, if heartening, prospect. And while some industry experts predict that someday all books will be published this way, that day is probably years off. For now, the Howard Olsens of this world will be hunkered down at their word processors, hard at work, armed with...
...VITED If you think it's a drag to send out invitations by snail mail, consider a new website called evite.com All you need to do is fill out one of the site's prepared invitations and, with a click, send it off. It keeps track of acceptances, lets invitees make comments, even offers a place to pick, say, chicken or beef for dinner. There's a benefit for recipients too. They can peek at the R.S.V.P. list--and decide after casing the names on the acceptances whether it's a bash they would really like to attend...

I scan a list of local radio stations to find some easy listening. For up-to-the-minute status on how far we have to go, I just hit a key. At last, we're having...
...turns out the anomaly is easy to misdiagnose. "Just because you have a click doesn't make you sick," says Dr. Robert Levine, a cardiologist at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston and a co-author of both of last week's reports. Because the mitral valve is shaped like a saddle when the heart is beating--something that Levine discovered 10 years ago--an ultrasound scan can indicate a bulging of the valve where none actually exists. Since then he has determined that the front-to-back view is more reliable than the side-to-side one. (Both views...
...along the 2000U to demonstrate the obvious superiority of its brother. The machines are nearly identical, and do 36-bit color scanning relatively fast (about 30 sec. for an acceptable 300-dpi resolution of a snapshot). The difference is that the 2100U has buttons on the front for one-click scanning or copying. (Yes, copying. Just drop a document or photo on the scanner, hit the copy button, and the image transmits directly to your printer.) The scanners come with an array of software that allows sophisticated editing, archiving and e-mailing of images. But don't expect...
