FYI, a few of the books I'm speaking of are LOTR, A Brief History of Time, The Universe in a Nutshell, Nanotechnology: Science, Innovation, and Opportunity...
The whole situation just really means ebook readers are an expensive "toy" for technofreaks at the moment IMHO.

I think consumers are paying for the "dream" of "what it could be" rather than what it is now - a new technology that is unsatisfactory for the average reader.
