And as we all know, eBooks are like Meth. Try it once and your hooked for life.

You are right. But, as we know all too well, the publishers are not interested in pushing ebooks over pbooks. They don't make any money on the hardware and are just grudgingly starting to accept that ebooks are here to stay. It is up to the hardware sellers; like Apple, Amazon, Sony to make such deals. Amazon tried to do it, Apple is bending over backwards to please the content owners since they are the new kid on the block. So don't expect the situation to change quickly.
