The INTERESTING part of the article to me was his negative slant and the fact that he had a very narrow focus. The scary part is that he got paid to write it. Seems that msot of you agree with my thoughts, that could be good or bad depending on how you look at it.
I love E-books, I do not find them to expensive but I do most of my purchases through
www.Baen.com and since I am a SF fanatic it works out for me.( Average of $5 per book or the monthly download of 5 to 6 books for $15) As for DRM and the various formats time will tell on how all of that shakes out. As a comparison just look at the some of the other technolgies that are going through the same thing with standards and protocols.
E-Books will be here as long as we have digital technology in one format or another....at least I think so.
