That's OK, Kat Hannaford at Gizmodo hates e-books in general...

That's the crux of my argument. Any company that attempts to own market share in that area is fighting a losing battle. Consumers won't buy an electronic book when they can get a paperback for the same price or even less, and when they can lend it to friends, read it in the bathtub or even sell it on and make a percentage of their money back.
I don't understand the fascination of reading in the bathtub, but whatever floats your boat.
