Very good point.
I know there are book trade conventions (like the mystery one mentioned earlier). Maybe some of us who read and enjoy ebooks should try to attend such events when they are near us, to show publishers and authors examples of ebooks and readers done well. What might be a good way to coordinate such an effort? Start a sticky thread specifically for posting information about events and responses from people who can attend? I could probably help with digging up info on events, but I'd need a few more people, especially outside of the US, to be able to get good coverage.
