i do not know why I do but here my idea and my forecast

my idea
the problems are three, in order of importance
1) Lack of culture- there is no general marketing to induce consumers to use ebooks
the sad truth is that a a really laaarge percentage of people think that ereaders are the ipad with the inbuilt reading program. (why everybody knows whatsapp? )
2)Lack of investment in R&D by manufacturers worried by the sales of their books and not the hardware- big companies are not willingly to offer killing features
3) Lack of interest in making the price of the ebook affordable- people do not like they want to become rich, and not accept the idea of intellecctual propriety seeing not reasonable the gap between hard copy and a download.

forecasts 3 years: ebook will not die - when you read digital paper no way to go back if not for narcisism or reasons of collections.ebook is the way to read outside a big house, the problem is that Ms I_Bring_Only_One_Book_When_I_Go_Out, never tried the beauty and the yummy advantages to own an ereader for 3 months.
when apple and google will make double eink telephones, will start also tablets and the mass market will know eink technology and ebook sales will become amazing again
