Until
it is comfortable to read, easy to carry around, can be moved from one format to another without having to pay for the change, and belongs to the purchaser FOREVER, I ain't interested.

I have books that I have had for 40 years, my parents had them for heaven only knows how long before that. They have been read, and read, and read, and my children and grandchildren will read them.

Until eBooks can provide this "hand-me-down" capability at NO EXTRA cost above the ordinary paper back cost, I ain't interested.

PERIOD!.
