E-books improve, but not enough

Quote:
At the moment, digital piracy of books barely exists because people have no comfortable way to read a digitized Tom Clancy thriller. Nobody wants to peer at a computer screen for a week. But if an electronic book were widely used, someone would scan Mr. Clancy. Turning the scan into text is easy with optical character recognition software, the kind that is bundled with scanners now. At that point best-sellers would be as piratable as music is today.
A lot of money is potentially in play here. Wait a few years.
