I think you are all missing the point that Crawford (and others) make: the printed book works, so why switch? Over and over I keep hearing from the computer crowd that ereaders are terrific because they allow us to carry several (80, I think, on the Sony reader) books at once. So what! Virtually everyone I know who reads (my wife, my daughter and I are long-time readers) reads ONE BOOK at a time, ok maybe two. So what difference does it make that I can carry many? Absolutely none. Nor do most people care about changing fonts, darkening type, etc... It is this contentment with what exists that stands in the way of success for ebooks, and I don't see that changing anytime soon.
