I think what is so hard to handle about ebooks is that people like something to show for their spent money. You spend $5-20 on an ebook and you just get a 300kb file. Some of my emails are bigger than that. I only started reading ebooks becuase I moved to japan for two years and I was tired of paying $11 for a 300 page paperback book, and then when I move back home I didnt want a pile of books. Im one of those people who dont dog ear pages and never sell books. So it was kinda a life altering event that turned me onto ebooks. I will miss paper books but ebooks have too much going for them. I think it will take a looooong time for ebooks to catch on but I think they will replace paperback books. But I do agree with Bob. Some books need to stay in paper.
