[DiapDealer]

People are not entitled to the ereading device of their dreams. If and/or when the restrictiveness of walled ereading devices begin to outweigh their conveniences, then they will cease to make financial sense to the consumers who buy them, as well as the companies who want you to consume their products with them.

I'm not going to sweat it. I've always been more interested in the words I'm reading, than I am in how those words find their way in front of my eyes. I would miss the immediacy that ebooks provide, in terms of discovering/buying/reading, but I'd make the switch back to physical books in a heartbeat if ereading began to hamper my reading experience in any way.

Anyone who thinks that the goal is to get us all hooked on ebooks and then eliminate print books altogether hasn't been paying attention to how hard publishers have fought to maintain a print-centric industry. Companies selling ebooks/readers will always have to contend with the fact that there's a practical limit to how much they can inconvenience readers before they'll scurry back to the relative safety of the physical alternative (at least for the foreseeable future).
