seems like publishers keep beating the same drum, but i'd be interested in seeing any proof that selling less hardcovers is based on people owning ebook readers rather than simply people reading less or being able to afford less. besides, if ebook readers encourage people to read more, publishers could make a little less per book but sell a great deal more. obviously this business model didn't hurt walmart...

Before I got an ebook reader I bought several books a month, now I haven't bought any since last year.
I would pay the price of a paperback for some ebooks but the books I'm interested in are not available as ebook in German or quite expensive. So in my case it's even worse for the publishers: no sales at all
