Then what are we doing here?
This forum has already demonstrated that, at times, it has had the ear (and/or the regular participation in discussions) of Sony, Adobe, Project Gutenberg, iRex, Baen Books, and many other publishers and hardware/software manufacturers. The site also informs and influences small publishers and independents, further giving growth to the industry. The whole point of that is to attempt to influence the industry towards the production of e-books, and however effectively, I'd argue that MobileRead has done so.
We're not here just to share free books! We're here to instigate change! E-book lovers unite... you have nothing to lose but your musty-smelling old spines! One, Two, Three, Four.... E-books are whut we're fightin' for!
Viva La Revolution!
...hagh...
Hmm. No more mocha fraps for me today...
