The last time that I looked at these offerings:
1. They required that I use a buggy, overpriced, insecure operating system to download the eBook.
2. They required that I waste my money on a WinCE device to read the eBook.
3. Selection of books that they had was very, very poor.
Simply put, it wasn't worth the money and effort.

But the bad thing is that you can get the same eBooks (and more) from illegal sources
easier. As long as it's easier and less painful to get eBooks illegally, the legal sources won't take off.
