The only problem is, people don't seem to want to buy them.
Right now, ebooks are second-rate books. The publishers need to make them into first-rate books, not second-rate websites. |
Worldwalker, that's just it: Tablets have just started taking hold, and e-books have so far been lame. The DK book you linked to, for instance, is for someone who wants to dabble, because they were trying to shoot for a bigger audience. I own some DK books for art and architecture, but they're lightweight overviews.
Publishers won't invest much in serious e-books till they see good chance for return on their money. One million iPads is a nice start, but it's just a start.
