This is not necessarily going to be popular, but it is my honest opinion, and it is one that I stand by.

1) Unless there is no DRM, I will NOT buy an ebook. A physical book doesn't have DRM
2) Unless the prices come down, or are reasonable, I will not buy an ebook.
3) Unless the book/magazine/newspaper I want to buy is in an open format I will NOT buy it.

I've owned my PRS-505 for 4 months, love it and yet haven't bought anything from the Sony bookstore, nor will I. We are seeing now, with digital books, whatr has already happened to music and video. You see how successful iTunes store is? Guess what they did to DRM?

Ah well, I don't expect the publishers to listen.
