garygibsonsf, I understand your point, but I just find it hard to comprehend a large number of people in an economically and technologically advanced society who:

1. Only buy a couple of books a year
2. Wouldn't purchase anything that resembles a computer.

I would assume anyone who fits the first criteria and the second is rare.

Those only fitting the first criteria are probably legion, but do not really change the ratio of ebook to pbook very much.

Those that fit only to the second criteria are again, I assume, rare. An ebook reader is not quite as daunting a leap as a computer.

Edit: especially with wireless connectivity to ebook stores.
