Now if only eBook prices will reach a level that rightly reflects production and distribution costs.
I disagree that Sony vs. Kindle is like VHS vs. Betamax. I think reformatting eBooks is much more accessible than changing video formats. Unlike VHS/Betamax, there is no physical medium that is used--eBooks are entirely software.
Clearly, Amazon has become all-powerful, but the idea of accessible print on demand is very attractive. I hate to see Amazon dominate this sector, though.
