And ebooks are getting more restrictive and fragmented every day. I know a lot of people who wont do ebooks because it's just too damn complicated. You have specific vendors, formats and software...ebooks take away the days of "go to vendor A and buy/order book X."

Last year I mostly read ebooks, this year I've not bought a single ebook...but I have purchased 6-8 DTBs. I just don't want to deal with the drama.
What you said.

I'm kind of burned out on e-books after less than a year and a half. I'm tired of having to jump through hoops with DRM. I'm tired of not finding the books I want. I'm tired of the fixed prices.

I like physical books. I think an e-reader should be a supplement to physical books, not a device that replaces them. I'm not about to give up my e-reader, but I'm not about to give up buying physical books either.
