they wish.

most of the folks i know in person who read ebooks were the very folks - like me - who avoided hardbacks because of space issues. when you buy a lot of new books, and tend to buy those you're likely to want to keep, you're pretty limited. add to that the wonderful, cheap and often otherwise unobtainable books in used bookstores, 'cause i used to run into lots of regular readers in our local used stores who rarely bought new books at all. and in this economy, their sales were bound to drop. regardless of anything else, a lot of people can't afford $25 books anymore.
