As much as I love using the Sony Reader, I can't believe they are not deeply discounted because they are NOT the same as physical books. With physical books, you can buy and sell used books, trade them to your friends, etc. And the costs of brick-and-mortar shops, the product itself, shipping, etc. are eliminated with ebooks. So where's the savings?
Unfortunately, I worry a bit about seeing books inherit the same issues that the other media types have went , with DRM, ridiculous EULAs, etc. if the idea of ebooks were to catch on. So in some ways, if I would want a book that I can get cheaper as a physical book, I'd rather do that.
