It is partly Connect but it is also the publishers -- many dead-tree publishers are reluctant or scared to go to e-book publishing, so Connect may not be able to get the books listed that it would like.
Every time you find a book you'd like to buy for the Reader but which isn't listed at Connect, you should let Connect know you would buy it from them as soon as they list it, and you should also contact the publisher and let them know you would buy it from the Connect site if they would publish it in a Reader format.
As the publishers realize there's an ever growing market for e-books they'll gradually hop on the bandwagon.
Record companies had no choice and they were hit over the head with electronic versions of their songs and the vast potential for electronic versions of the songs with the huge amount of song trading that went on with Kazaa and Napster.
It's much harder to convert a paper book to electronic format so there isn't such an in-your-face illegal market in trading newly released books.
So we have to let them know we're here and that we've got lots of money to spend.
