Rlauzon - That's a very good point. I have to admit that I've been viewing the current availability of ebooks as half empty. I should be focusing on the books I can get instead of the ones I cannot. I'm sure I'll be pleasantly surprised from an in-depth search of the various ebook resources found online. I'm a huge science/technology fan, however, and one major concern of mine is the disproportionate availability of non-fiction. Am I simply making a premature, uneducated observation? Do you know any good non-fiction sources? By the way, I'm also a ginormous sci-fi junkie. Could you recommend a few books/authors for me if you get a spare moment?
Sonnyred - I totally agree with your future thinking concerning ebooks and their related technologies. We've all seen incredible growth in the industry recently with not only the manufacture of multiple readers but also the infrastructure with Amazon, a company with $11 billion dollars in revenue in 2006, and Borders/Sony both opening up ebook stores. If they're successful it will spur the industry exponentially. I've held off my celebratory catwheels though despite these positive signs as I've read articles dating 10 years back talking about why ebooks were going to be "taking off anytime now" or "just around the corner."
