I wasn't proposing that direct download would be prohibited by this. My understanding is that Nintendo have the most successful consoles in the Wii/DS. For ordinary humans, these have the great advantage that you plug the game in and it just works. Its really easy to use. Ebooks are not like that yet - they are a massive haft to use.
My thought was that publishers might benefit from the use of physical media, not so much with the mobile read community - who are the pioneers in a fledgeling market - but with ordinary mortals who would struggle to download a file via Adobe, find it again (!) and load it across to their reader.
My Mum, who is a great reader, is interested in whether an ereader would suit her, but my main concern is the difficulty of getting content onto the device. I would anticipate a lot of support calls! Not so for a plug-and-play cartridge.
