I should have been clearer, it is e-ink readers I am most interested with. The fact is that LCD while good compared to many things, is not a good reading device.
nekokami Transaction fees are killers. I looked at paypal some time back, it then had hefty fees (on a micro scale that is), also at the time there was a scandal about money be siphoned off (which may or may not have been true and has been anyhow resolved - I have heard no new rumours about it since and it has a good reputation).
Transaction fees of any kind work against micro-payments. With these small amounts it is just another needless hassle, when really the idea thing is just to accumulate sales and then when there is a fair bit there to cash it.
With encryption, serial numbers, simple accounting there are literally hundreds of different ways it could be done. The real problem is that financiers tend to be very very greedy, I believe we will get something when makers of digital material (ie downloadable) find they need a better way to do business than credit cards.
I will however have another close look at paypal, who knows maybe they have already cracked it.
