@jplumey: That's one of the things I meant with "service" - make it easy for people to give you money.
They have just read your demo-chapter? Give them a link at the back "read on" - 'click', book is bought and you can just read on ... If the book is good - they are not going to search the darknet, because they want to read on now.

E.g. you have a big ad in a railroad station, presenting a new book. The ad is succcessfull - you want to read that book (your train is late, you forgot to upload new books to your device, etc) - so you just buy that book here and now. Perhaps via bluetooth (or whatever) directly "from the ad", perhaps via a wlan-hotspot, via UMTS or sprint, or whatever.
If you cant buy that book at the ad - most people will have forgotton about it back home. And now - they are not going to search it in the darknet, because they want to read (and have) it NOW. So - make it easy for them to get it NOW.
Make your device connect to stores and let people buy wherever they are - not only via Amazon, but other services too. etc etc
THIS will make people give you money - not forcing them to use a slow page with bad searching- or sorting routines. iTunes is successfull because Apple understood that. Make it easy for people.
They dont want to use xyz-browser - give them a software that is comfortable, and your set ...

Oh well, I'm repeating myself.
