eBooks will rise in popularity but real books are not going anywhere. I don't think Publishers are all that afraid of amazon.

The dust hasn't settled yet but I have a feeling that when it does Amazon will be forced to share the market with everyone else. Covey doesnt really matter, barely a blip on the radar and someone like Rowling would lose too much to give Amazon exclusivity.

Kindle owners all sound the same to me, they are pro-monoply
