Holding an actual book will seem tedious, not to mention all of the features traditional books lack, like the ability to quickly search the text for a particular subject matter or connect online to additional reference info. The writing is definitely on the wall for the printing press as we know it. this is only a challenge to those of us who grew up with paper books. wait for the next generation that grows up with these e-readers, ipads, etc. For them it will be reversed.

This company (and affiliate program) does well. While digital downloads have clear advantages in terms of price, conservation, and storage, it will be a challenge to replace the experience of holding a paper book so it's not clear how much of the marketplace digital downloads will take but it certainly seems like there is a LOT of room for growth.

But then again, where I live in Boulder CO, the public library is extraordinarily popular and when I see new books (like the book I'm reading now, Agincourt, by Bernard Cornwell) I put a hold and it can take weeks - or months - before I can get it. But when I do, it's free. Good economics. :-) Me? I don't have a Kindle though I'd love to get a review unit. Not to be tedious, but I love the kinesthetic experience of a book, including seeing that bookmark slowly progress through the pages as you enjoy the world that the author has created.
