The majority here place a high value on the portability of many books in one eBook reader, but I am skeptical that the American public will share that appreciation and pay close to paper prices for eBooks.
It may be that a large percentage of eBook reader owners will use their devices for those books which are free or cost below $3.00.
If as many people get eBook readers for Christmas 2010 as was predicted last year at this time, I can imagine that US reading will increase in 2011, but spending on books will not.
