Well, in a way we are early adopters of this technology. It's not truly widestream in the way mobile phones are yet. I think that means we have to put up with the teething problems for the industry as it grapples with how to manage/price/sell/DRM ebooks.
The publishers have a system that works with traditional books but sucks with ebooks which can be distributed globally very easily. It's just a matter of time I think, so we just need to be patient while they annoy us with DRM models and geographic restrictions.
