I've done a couple of posts that focus on eBooks in an academic sense at my student productivity blog
MindfulInk that may interest some of you. But my audience isn't guys who hang out in eBook forums - but students who don't know much about this stuff, so it's not going to get into hard details.
Also, do keep in mind that space is limited so I only covered a few of the main devices and I no doubt left out details and many other bits of information - but as a blog post can't be a novel, I did try to point interested parties in the right directions to find out more.
