Probably not. Oh let's see Joe builds ereader. Joe has no ebooks. Customers have to look high and low. Oops, Joe is now sitting in front of the Walmart parking lot holding a sign.
Hey, if it would have worked Sharper Image would not be out of business.
They tried that. I think the ereader was $400 when it came out and even came with an SD card loaded with books. I have one around here somewhere (without the SD card), To tell you how popular they were move the decimal two places to the left for the price I paid.
