Just don't fall into the error of assuming that because Mobileread is full of booklovers who clearly are not late adaptors or suspicious of new technology, this particular constituency is even remotely significant statistically.
(Vice versa, of course, I'm not clear there is any support for Hornby's statement in the first place, but that's the other side of the coin -- it should be polished separately.)

Your right, of course. My "need I even address this" was clearly intended for this community. I supposed that people reading my little post wouldn't need me to explain...
Yes, I know we e-book lovers aren't (yet) a big group. But that's fine, not all products need to address the mass market. As long as there are profits to be made it can be a viable market. I still think e-books and readers, after overcoming their respective hurdles, will become mass market items. That something is currently perhaps only used by a small group doesn't mean it won't be a bit thing later on, Mr. Hornby!
