Yeah, being able to buy at home or wherever and get instantly is a huge appeal for e-books for me.
With games, I like the physical copy as they're pricey and I can get them second hand, trade/sell them after I'm done with them etc. So I'll be resistant to a move to download games as prices aren't going to come down as game development costs are so hi for 3D games in HD on the 360 and PS3.
I'll pay $5-10 for an e-book that I can't trade or resell to recoup some of the cost. I won't pay $40-60 for many games that I can't resell. Even at $20 I'd be much more picky about what games I play than I am now when I can get games off a trading site like Goozex for very little out of pocket costs since I'm just using points earned from games I traded to other uses, and only paying shipping costs on those, and $1 for each game I receive.
But $5-10 is pocket change, so I don't mind spending that to read a book with no chance of trading or selling it.
