I certainly hope this is a sign of greater acceptance and a "breakthrough" for digital books. I am certainly not married to the Sony Reader, and find any news of greater sales of digital books to be a very good thing.
For writers like Steve Jordan, Richard Herley, and Michael McCollum. it is most likely a best bet to keep their books available in as many formats as possible. That way a person who desires any book is not tied down to a specific hardware device and (as in the case of the aforementioned authors) without damnable DRM. This keeps them available to as many purchasers as possible, and their ebooks available to all of us readers.
