I like and respect Cory a lot, but I think he's way off here. I am inclined to think that he has a career as a result of e-book geeks like us. Ok, I could be way off there, he's very talented; but isn't he more of an internet success story? If it wasn't for the internet, would he be as successful right now?
My point is--wait, I don't know what my point is. I guess maybe it's that the very people he is saying won't adapt to e-book readers, are a lot of the same people that read his e-books on an e-book reader. Of course, it will take some time before they become common and cheap, but does anyone seriously think that in the future (near or far) that e-book devices won't be common?!
It may not be our beloved e-ink, but I think it will be something. I find it hard to believe that in 30 years, people will be lugging around big textbooks in college. I think Cory needs to try out an e-reader and then see how logical the e-book concept can be. Price is the only thing stopping us for now.
