“if you’ve been holding off on an eBook content purchase, now is a great time to pull the trigger.”

There are MANY reasons I’ve been holding off buying ebooks:
- NO ONLY/STANDARD/UNIVERSAL ereader; who wants to load/mess with 10′s of different programs just to read ebooks
- ebooks are priced MUCH too high, compared to print and even to PC versions; e.g. M-W dictionaries or encyclopedias, etc. Deals on BN.com are almost everytime cheaper than ebooks; THAT’S A SHAME!!!
- impossible to resell, like printed or CD-rom versions

As long as these won’t be corrected ebooks will be doomed (tiny niche market) as they are today!!!

Thanks for sharing the site. Think I’ll buy a couple of books to read.
