I don't think eBooks are going to replace paper books for awhile. I was looking to buy a book for the wife yesterday. The paper version was $15.95, while the ebook was $14.99. Why should I buy something for a $1 less when DRM prevents me from reading that book on anything except her Kindle 2. I have a Sony Pocket Reader and would like to read it when she finishes. Right now you can't. So far I have 117 FREE ebooks on my reader. I'm not about to pay for something I can't transfer, give to a friend or sell. Thanks, but no thanks!
