If i haven't got you completely wrong you assumed in your previous post that the market launch of ebook reading devices (like the kindle) could push the market and wake up the content publishers from their hibernation. I just doubted that your assumption is accurate... Did i got you wrong?

You are right. This is exactly what i meant: The hardware is there but seems to be irrelevant as long as not enough content publishers (or at least some big players) are getting active in the ebook-market.
