I've gotta paraphrase ProfCrash:

I want to read books at a price that is EXTREMELY reasonable and without DRM. It REALLY is not all that complicated.

I won't buy hardback books. I didn't before ebooks, and I'm sure not gonna now.

I want e-books with words from the authors I like to read, and to pay A LOT less than for a paper book since it costs them less to produce an e-book.

And if the publishers want me to try new authors, GET THE !#$%$& BOOKS INTO THE LIBRARY. 'CAUSE THAT'S THE WAY I FIND NEW AUTHORS.

That is all.
