… and have never had a whole box of books disappear somewhere in that move. <sob /> …sorry, I'm still bitter
I'm quite a bit more impressed with this poll than most similar ones. They actually seem to have asked the right sort of questions. I'm particularly pleased to see that 36% of those who prefer DTBs cite as their reasons
exactly what Amazon promotes as the benefits of a Kindle: "I am not restricted to a particular device" (20%), '
"I can easily share it" (10%), … and "I can sell it when used" (6%)'. When e-book sales level off and Amazon, and whoever's left in the trade, look for ways to continue to grow the business, maybe they'll realize that vendor lock-in and end-user licenses are not good for anybody.
