I would imagine that technical ebooks sell proportionately about as well as they do in print. I purchase a lot of them myself, but only a couple of these have been from Amazon: not when I can get multi-format licenses by purchasing direct from O'Reilly (often for less $).
The problem with ereaders and computer books is not so much the small screen, which I find tolerable, but the lack of nimble navigation features. They are great for linear reading but not so much for reference-type books - too slow to jump around.
