It's already been proven by Baen and others that electronic publishing works best in parallel to hardcopy, not as a replacement.
People can surf the cheap ebooks, and what they like, they will buy in hardcopy.
Also, it's particularly amusing to me that he mentions the Bible as one of his irreplaceable books, as I stopped carrying mine in favor of MyBible on my Palm years ago. If you're actually using the Bible for something more than a Sunday morning fashion statement, the electronic version is so much better, what with full text search, faster indexing by chapter and verse, and all the reference materials you could ask for.
