Another thing is that most of those people aren't wanting to gamble with their money on these e-books. You can either buy two books or get 20,000 songs on iTunes Match. Which do you think will win?
I think the biggest failure for e-readers is the fact that there are too many people in this world who are illiterate and can't use them. A lot of us don't have the eyesight for them either.
I think e-books are priced okay. They'll last you longer than a book, that's for sure. I'm happy that I don't have to deal with the millions of paper cuts I've gotten through the years! They'll be there even after your device dies because they're in a server.
As for using them for design purposes... Come on... Do you really only buy YELLOW books to match your YELLOW walls? I didn't think so!

which author are you speaking of? the one this link refers to (the rebuttal piece) or the author who wrote the pbooks for design purposes? xP
