It's not a rumor and it's past, they are in the ebook market. they now own Fictionwise ebook store. We have not seen any improvement yet but I'm sure they're coming. Also, there are 50% coupon out there from other ebook retailers, even though I own a Kindle, I buy a lot of books from other retailers using 40% or 50% coupons (every time I needed a book, there's a coupon out there to be found). Also being able to use the library is huge, I also have a Sony PRS-505, I just got interested in Nora Roberts books, I have a library card from NYPL and they had 53 of her books in eformat. I just checked out a complete 3 book series that was recommended to me on this board as my introduction to Nora Roberts; the fact I have these 3 books and spent $0 makes me happy!!
