By the way, I love how the analyst who views women as the "new market" for ebooks apparently missed the whole "Oprah Kindle" thing.  |
That analyst also missed the fact by the IDPF that women buy 55% of all ebooks!
I still say that environmental constraints on printed (bleached paper) books when it is felt in the pocketbook will wake people up to eBook Readers. Fundamentally, in my opinion, there simply is an attitude amongst the masses that my paperback works just fine and that is enough for me. Such as my 1964 GTO with 4.11 posi was good enough for me when gas was under $1 a gallon. Things are changing and the impact of eBook Readers is just beginning!
