Albert from CanalPDA.com kindly send us word of Why you should read e-books... and why you won't (http://www.canalpda.com/displayarticle290-flat.html) (Spanish original (http://www.canalpda.com/displayarticle281-flat.html)), an essay which depicts the current pro's and con's of e-books in the publishing market.

In short: e-books are convenient, compact, discreet, and more complete; however, they are also expensive, in English (limited languages), sparse, and too personal (due to DRM requirements).

Definitely thought inspiring and a required read for every e-book publisher who wants to gain acceptance in the future e-book market.
