That is certainly not the case with ebooks - it pretty much is all or nothing unless it is a short-story book or book of essays. There is no discrete $0.99 chapter.

Another big difference to me is that young people, the biggest group of mp3 fanatics, are more apt to be into music and mp3's etc than they are ebooks or reading at all really. There is a bigger audience for music than for pleasure reading. Not saying that's a good thing, just that I think it's likely true.
