The point is that, at this time, they are not making any efforts to offer suitable substitutes for the pbook experience. That needs to change.
The University of Chicago Press will sell you a 30 day license for their ebooks. The first volume of A Dance to the Music of Time is listed at $40 to own, $7 to rent. (It should be noted, however, that they offer this volume as a free ADE book - you do have to pay for the subsequent volumes, though. Also, this first volume is on Kindle for free.)
