We have a poll on this. Well over 50% of MR members re-read many of their books. Our audience may not be "typical," but we may be closer to "typical book-buyers" than you are assuming.

This is an ad-hominem attack (or "ad populum," if you prefer). Please don't do this here.

Sure about that? Check the number of ebook reading apps that have been downloaded. I agree that LCD screens aren't for everyone, but many people (including myself) do just fine with them.

Kobo supports ePub with Adobe DE DRM. I don't think B&N does-- that's eReader (though they might be using the Adobe DRM algorithm).
