Agreed 100% with the whole post. Devices are secondary, and even now there are enough out there. The problem is that content is not there and until the magic wand that allows to digitize your own print books easily for free (or very, very cheap), the content is not going to be there overnight, the way it happened with mp3's.

Also it may or may not happen (to me the jury is still out there if e-books will succeed in displacing p-books, or even if commercial e-books will succeed in increasing their size of the pie at more than a small fraction - the print books are "very fit" from an ecological point of view in our culture)
