I'm not sure why you would say this. We are on the edge of a unified standard: there is only one hold-out! That hold-out happens to be the largest seller of e-Readers in the world, making them impossible to ignore.

I'm also not sure which technology is immature. That of e-Readers (hardware) or e-Books (software). Both can -- and will -- change with time. Web browsers and Web pages are incredibly more advanced than in the '90s, but the web in the '90s was still effective, useful and popular... and based on a unified formatting standard.
