Of course the 'traditional' industry wants ebooks to fail. It's only seventy or eighty years since the same 'traditional' industry -- with all its grubby-fingered hangers-on from printers to shopkeepers -- wanted paperbacks to fail. As before Penguin made the sixpenny paperback book available (as opposed to hardbacks that cost fifteen times as much), we -- the readers -- must stick to our guns and drive the market in our direction. A publisher or retailer who isn't playing the ebook game by fair rules in five years' time will not be in the business. Neil
