I agree with Lemurion. The revolution here is not the hardware, but that Sony is taking a huge step toward expanding the availability of books. What are the odds that Amazon would have taken such a step? We can rent DVD's, why not ebooks? I can't remember the last time I purchased a new DVD. I just get it on Netflix and return it after I have watched it. The is the business model for which ebooks must adapt.

My biggest concern with Ebooks has been the requirement that they be purchased (which is fine) but not subject to passing on to others. I much prefer to rent an ebook or get it from my library which I can currently do for many titles.
