I agree with both points. My post wasn't intended to say hey change happens. Though if one is not the catalyst for the change it can be observed as "just happening".
eBook technology cannot be stopped. Players who are moving this technology have leverage and are not tided to the old publishing model. It offers too much convenience and is a natural extension of the information age.
Th point I was making in my previous post was that these authors and publishers who "wish" to pretend that eBooks are a fad. A technology that will fade away are in for a rude awaking.
