And I think a big part of that is that MR is more bleeding-edge than we realize
. I know many people here have been reading e-books on PDAs and dedicated LCD devices for years, but I wouldn't have considered the switch to digital books until e-ink display readers appeared on the US market. I read a few PG and CC books on my computer screen, but didn't find it a particularly enjoyable experience. Especially given e.g. the initial format selection, I think Tor has a similar understanding, only sans the (IMHO) major change e-ink has introduced. Despite attempting to move into the e-book space, I don't think they've fully integrated the idea yet that some segment of their readers actually
prefer to read books as e-books.
