I totally agree with Elfwreck - I want to read on my e-ink reader not pbooks, and not connected to the cloud (I would look pretty dumb curled up in bed with my ... laptop!) And like Elfwreck, I read and buy a lot of books.
The other point to consider about cloud computing is that not everyone has access to the internet at all hours of the day and night. I realise that in Europe and North America internet access is virtually ubiquitous, but the same is not true in various parts of the southern hemisphere. I suspect google doesn't care about that, because we're a relatively small population, but it makes a major difference for me.
