I answered Never even thguoh I've put a considerable amount of effort into my ebook reading software. (Doesn't matter which - I'm not here to self-promote.)The idea of ebooks is great ... entire libraries in your pocket, read anything anywhere, buy without leaving your chair, lower prices, etc, etc.The reality is different. Books are a physical product you can buy, hold, sniff, enjoy. And they still have a value when you've read them ... you can pass them on to family, friends, others. You can line your house with bookshelves and set out to collect certain editions. You can get them ... gasp ... signed.If you're buying something to read, then ebooks will do the job. But to me, wanting to read a book is only about 60% of the reason for my purchase. The other 40% varies, but none of it is met by ebooks.
