We need to be willing to buy content.
I believe that in order for the EReader of any variety to be access we the user community need to be willing to pay for content. I do not believe that ereaders will be a success if we as a community only look to “free” books for content. I am a very avid reader but I must admit there are only some many titles at PG that I want to read. I want newer content. That means paying for it.
I am willing to pay “book store” prices for a paper back, so why not an ebook. Yes I think that they should be cheaper than paper books because of less printing, transport, inventory costs, etc. but I am still willing to pay for my content. This is the only way that there will be enough current content from the best most marketable authors ever available. With content will come a better “Business Case” for people to buy a reader.
No $$ paid for new current content = no market for new readers.
I am a new Ebook user, has not actual arrived yet, and I am disappointed in the number of people in this forum who are looking only for free content.
Just the new bees thoughts on the subject.
