Other than that, I just keep seeing statements that ebook sales are increasing more and more each month.
No more backup than all the angry comments around the different Blogs. My guess is that the publishers will never back down. If they loose the sale on the e-book people will probably get the print-book so what do the publishers stand to loose? They didn't want the e-book to begin with and most of the big ones have been reluctant from the start to this whole e-book thing.
