at least one publisher( and the poster,) thinks the solution is to move everything to the cloud . Apparently, HTML 5.0 will allow the offline reading of ebooks stored in the cloud, so you can read ebooks without requiring a persistent wifi or cellular connection. Maybe that's solution.

The problem comes when you then need an internet connection to be able to get at your content. That is unacceptable. What if my net connection is down. What if I have no net access? They would be forcing everyone to be on the net. That's not always possible. Also, I want to be responsible for storing my eBook. I don't want to risk my content to some cloud somewhere that I have no control over. I understand about the cloud, I just don't like it.
