I do agree that a general-ebooks forum would be useful. Among other things, it could collect threads about "what devices read what ebooks," and "which stores have the best prices/selection" (which currently wind up in "reading recommendations," I think), the pdf-vs-epub threads, and the eternal "ebooks are/are not lost pbook sales" discussions. And a general-ebook-related forum might encourage threads we currently just don't get, because people can't figure out where to put them. (Ebook accessory discussions. Ebook publisher preferences. Favorite ebook features that pbooks don't have. Cover art that looks good on an e-ink screen. Etc.)
And yeah, there are approximately 743 forums already. 'Sokay. It's a big, active forum-place; it's not like the current forums are going to wither if a new one gets added.
