I think we're missing the much more important point: having a dedicated ebook bestseller list gathered and endorsed by the New York Times is a significant milestone in the evolution of ebooks from "an excuse to buy a new gadget" to a mainstream reading experience. It marks the shift from device to content.
I agree, the fact that they are recognizing it in this way proves that it will "hopefully" be here to stay. I still think the Agency 5 is a conspiracy for the publishers to get rid of eBooks by pissing off everyone, but that's neither here nor there, getting a list for NYT Bestsellers is HUGE!!! I'm very excited about this.
