I have no idea about the general market, but I would not buy anything that enslaves me to a particular publisher, nor anything that locks my books to a particular vendor, or is DRMed and cannot be de-DRMed.
I still have the books I read in Primary school - and I am 50 years old, I have some of my father's books, old books I bought some over 100 years old.
My library is my pride and joy, but I am not addicted to paper or any other technology, but to the content of these marvellous treasures. Content!
One of my prized books, is small, less than 100 pages, practically self published, largely unknown, and absolutely, in its area, brilliant. How with a Kindle would I ever have such a book?
Is Amzon.com trying to set itself up as the ultimate power over content? It seems this is its ambition, and I say no way, never.
A big mistake, if what is being said is true, a really big mistake.
