Well, one thing is for sure the eBook is taking off like a rocket , with the general public, and is the wave of the future. Of that there can be no doubt, there will always be a market for the hard copy book, methinks that will never die.

Some of the brick and mortar businesses still have some dinosaurs running things, but I methinks one of the biggest problems they have is developing a business model, that supports hard books and the eBook. The zillion pound mouse in the room is they see unauthorized copy's of their works on the net, in the thousands that they hold the rights to. And to them that is a loss of revenue. And reading their statement it seems to me, that it is just not library books but all eBooks.

They can not stop what is already out in the public, but they can sure stop any new works in the eBook format.

IMHO
