I think Baen is still the biggest publisher that offers such a nice service for the moment though.

I think Harlequin is another..but I'm not a big romance reader.

It's the other big publishers that are holding the industry at a standstill because a lot of the popular authors aren't signed onto the smaller publishers they are locked into contracts with the big name publishers.

I do hope what you predict will happen. Because this is getting quite frustrating wanting to buy ebooks but unable to find affordable copies of the ebooks I want to read.
