Making books available in different formats allows each reader to decide how they want to access the information. Many people prefer ebooks because they are instantly available--you don't even have to drive (or wait) five minutes to get them. ;o) They are searchable, you can easily take lots of them on a trip without any extra weight, and they do not take up space on a bookshelf. I buy a lot of ebooks, but I do not plan to ever stop buying print books. Both have their place, and your point about making them available in multiple formats is a good one for publishers to remember. I understand that–everyone has their preferences.

Here are two reasons I won't buy it: (1) For $29 I expect a real bound book that I can read anywhere, not a file downloaded to my PC. (2) When I buy books, I expect to either order online at Amazon for next-day or two-day delivery, or to drive five minutes to B&N. Publishers should make books available through the sales channels that readers want to use. Michael N.
