Like with records, a lot of people still shun digital books because they're inferior to the analogue ones (mainly because of what they read them on). It will take a generation that doesn't have access to the originals to change that. But the young seem to be more interested in reading Facebook status updates than books. That might also be why short books seem to be selling better than long ones. Most of the people who have contacted me say they read them on mobile phones, which probably also has something to do with it. When I first discovered ebooks that didn't exist in any other form I used to print them out.
