If there is a publisher reading this, I'd like you to go back and reread the part about how ebook reader owners actually buy more books, not less. That whole "a digital book sold equals a lost paper sale" is nothing but horsepucky.

I had no doubt about it. It certainly is true for me, and I believe (now I am being immodest) the same is true for almost all of the people who read this forum.
Affordability is really great, no new shelves needed at home (oh boy how that feels good!, no nagging from wifey "What ? Another one ! Where shall we put it? There is no room left in this house, you and your books!!"), everything at your fingers, what more do I want ?
And to be honest (we may or may not like it) a very big part of this is due to the Kindle which has helped in the big push.
Please, to all the wives present here, do not bash me too hard.
