That's true - but I don't think that we've seen this play itself out yet. Once technology reaches a point where electronic reading is seen by the majority as practical, which is a point that it seems we are fast approaching, there will be a surge in demand for content. The providers who make it convenient and cheap to get good quality content will win out.

I'm hoping that if I say it lots of times, it'll happen
