And this nonsensical analogy is supposed to illustrate..., what?
You are failing to comprehend my argument. Before ebooks become mainstream, there must be format standardization. And whatever the format is, it must be capable of dealing perfectly with publications such as magazines, as well a trash novels. And the visual quality of the products must improve.
I don't even know why I am arguing, other than this being a slow day of long conference calls....
Because regardless of what you think, PDF enjoys an infinitely higher adoption rate, than any of the formats discussed here.
And because, as much I like e-ink, there is a very good chance, that within a year or so, larger-screen devices from Apple and others, may relegate current ereaders and their formats, to the dustbin of electronic history. But PDFs will be with us for a while longer, IMO.
