No ... most of them don't know that much about ebooks. I am
telling them that they need to do whatever it takes to reach the most customers they can. I have been telling them that, if the books are available in multiple formats - or the sooner they can agree on a single format that works everywhere - the sooner they will have more companies making readers, and the sooner they will be able to sell entire legal libraries (with update subscriptions) to solos who do not have space for the books.
Granted, they are available on the computer, but it is not always convenient to have to do your research that way. Especially if you are somewhere that you are stuck with dial up. In addition, I hate it when I have to pay (again) to look at the same case (again), where it didn't get saved to the computer that I have with me, and I don't have the case file.
What I am telling them is .... you produce the books, and the ebook readers (and by "readers" I mean the human beings who read ebooks) will come, and they will buy the books you publish. Get on board soon, or you will be left behind because the law students of today will already be getting their legal reading AND their recreational reading from you competitors.
