I feel for you because I am in the same boat. Ebooks will be great in a few years but at the moment we have some bad pricing structures, publishers who demand draconic DRM, numerous publishers owning a book license in different geographic areas.

SO whilst I have gotten a few relatives onto Kindles, I'm hesitant to recommend the value and benefits of ebook devices them to my 'techy' friends. They just find it easier to use pirate bay for books, however they are the kinds of people who use iTunes to buy music and TV shows so are not opposed to paying for media. Just the initial overhead of the reading device + the publisher issues don't make it worthwhile for most of them.
