no kidding

"In a recent interview with CNET News.com, Adobe CEO Bruce Chizen blamed ill-fitting hardware choices for the slow adoption of e-books. "Until there is a device that has a similar value to what a book has, the e-book market will continue to be nascent," he said. "Today, to get a good e-book experience, you have to spend hundreds of dollars on a reading device, one that can only be read in certain environments because of lighting conditions; a device that has to be re-energized quite often, because the power consumption isn't there yet; and a device that isn't very durable.""


that and price and the hoops you have to jump through to share your ebook, it is much easier to buy a real book and use it as you please
