Well, I don't get this at all. I have had an ereader for almost a year now and there is more choice today than a year ago. Ebooks remain -- consistently cheaper -- than paperbooks in the main: and I am talking about paperbooks of any sort.

I don't care a whit about DRM or multi-formats since almost everything is available in the two formats that matter: Kindle and ePub. DRM has not once gotten in the way of my enjoying a novel.

I simply do not understand this gripe. My Kindle and my Kobo are NOT gathering dust.
