"People are busily working to make light, portable, paperback sized computers with high resolution, high-contrast screens. These portable books of the future will run for many days on a battery charge and be connected to wireless networks that bring you the world's libraries in your pocket."
Accurate description of a modern ebook reader, written in 1993. The wireless network bit is especially impressive.
From "Electric Science Fiction 1993 Hugo and Nebula Award Anthology", a CDROM
