I have to agree with pretty much everything Andurian said. Sadly, it is how the market seems to work. Especially the part about the format lottery. Who knows what will be usable 10 or 20 years from now? I find that especially sad because one my big reasons for considering e-books and the expense of a reader is that books generate dust and I am allergic to dust. Not having so much weight and mass to move also figures in there, but not as highly. Replacing my old and very used p-books with e-book editions is a rapidly fading dream since so many of them are not available.
