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."
There is a lot of truth here. The market is driven by need and convince. While eBooks should be convenient the market has made them a pain to buy. If we are lucky they are available they are riddled with DRM and often just as expensive as real book.

I still purchase eBooks exclusively but for me removing DRM is easy enough and create my eBooks from sites like PG. It's just not a piratical solution for many folks.
