I think for most folks, the real limiting factor is the time to read the books they buy, and not the money available to buy them.

Thanks for your thoughts on it. As an author, I was curious. Haven't ventured into the ebook realm as a reader yet, just as an author. Although probably heading there before too too long. Haven't had a chance to research the different options very well yet. Lots of players getting in on the action. Got an email from my cable company about buying a reader from them!
Print is really getting scarcer and scarcer. In scheduling my team for some training recently, the trainer mentioned that they now provide ekits instead of printed training manuals. We're curious to see how that'll work since folks are used taking notes on the pages of the manuals during a course to keep them together with the page the note refers to. Hmmm. I guess we'll see how it goes. I wonder if the ekits allow you to add electronic sticky notes to the pages. That would be nice. Gotta ask the next time I speak with them.
