Ebooks suck because it's so much easier to pirate print books. In every city there are these huge repositories of pirated books called libraries- where you can read and even take home print books, movies, even audiobooks- get this- all for free! If I want to read the latest Harry Potter book for free I can just stroll into one of these places, find it on the shelf, and take it home and read it. If you can't find what your looking for, you simply ask the friendly pirate at the front desk and they'll have it shipped from whichever one of these warehouses has it- again all for free!

With ebooks it's almost impossible- you have to search a bunch of pirate sites, fire up bittorent, wait for the file to become available, fire up another app to convert it into lrf and then use another app to send it over to the Sony Reader. Almost makes you want to pay 25.00 for the file just to avoid the pain- except most of of the publishers would rather deny you the ability to do even that!
