If the brick and mortar stores started selling both ebook readers AND ebooks, I would be thrilled. I just hope they do it in a way that makes them competitive with the eWorld. I still like to frequent the stores often and want to keep them in business. (I can stop buying magazines and cookbooks just to buy something
).
I don't mind the concept of drm itself. I accept it as a necessary (even if ineffective) evil to get more publishers on board. However, I am getting frustrated with all the formats. Tonight I was thrilled to find the BPL suddenly had more new books than I'd ever seen offered. Then I was became equally unhappy when I realized they were all ePub only (before they offered just mobi and pdf)
I am tired of converting just to get things on my reader because it doesn't support a certain format. I bought my Kindle to read and spend less time on the computer
I came very closed to buying a used Sony to supplement my Kindle tonight
There are times when I wonder if paper is just easier
