When you toss in the availability issues, DRM issues, price issues, and everything else...it's really rather amazing that this market is getting stronger.

Sheesh, why bother.

My primary motivators for purchasing my first reader a couple of weeks ago is that VAST amount of public domain CLASSIC LITERATURE available and the ability to check out new releases from the library.

That's enough for me.
