I believe they are trying to turn paper book readers in to ebook readers!

This seems like a 'win win' situation. If someone truly doesn't like it, they can return it........but very few, I think would do so. Ebook readers can be kinda.........addictive.
Very narrowly targeted, I suspect. Of course 'a lot' is subjective, but I think I buy a lot of pbooks from Amazon-but mostly those are used and I buy them because they're cheaper than the ebook version. Usually, significantly so. I doubt if that would change and therefore it wouldn't change my buying habits either. At least not very much. About the only difference I can think of is if the $18 ebook (non-Amazon) that I reject in favor of a $7 used pbook (Amazon) were available for Amazon's $10 price. So far I haven't bought any ebooks from Amazon as I don't own a Kindle.
