Um. If more people buy the paper version of a book, how exactly is that going to motivate anyone to release an e-version? No. It's the publishers who have to react and change to the will of the market. They've made the connection, but things won't change anytime soon. Why not automatically release a book that goes out of print as an ebook, or after the initial print run is done, or after a set time? If they're so worried about piracy, then give us the respect and option to buy the e-version of the book. I'm tired of business blaming piracy for the corporate worlds woes, instead of changing their ways to provide another option.

Meanwhile I'll continue to but used books, used CDs and the occasional new book when they're initially released; whether on paper or eink.
