I have not -ever- heard of one single complaint about availability or usability of torrent clients. Have you?

Playing devil's advocate here, torrents can be a bit arcane if you are not used to them. It took me a while to "get" them, and I consider myself a technology inclined person; the idea that I had to download a torrent file which would then be used by the client to download the actual file from other people didn't click at first. This might not be a problem now that e-books and e-readers are a relatively niche market of technologically savvy people, but as they become more prevalent due to cheapness, older people dying off, and other factors, it could end up being something to consider.
