Are you implying that all that is available now in ebook format is unremarkable fiction? I've got Dostoevsky, Kafka and Ayn Rand on my 505 right now. I've also got quite a lot of good nonfiction as well (e.g. Walden, The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin). I don't think you can seriously argue that sticking to ebooks is bad for the intellect. There's easily enough great works to last anyone many years even if no more ebooks were ever published.
