All the more opportunity for indie writers like myself, who distrust corporate control of art. I’m thrilled that conventional publishers are missing the boat!

In general, the e-versions are priced aggressively lower, which is thought to stimulate, rather than detract from, softcover sales. The iPhone specs include PDF reader capability, but Apple has never promoted this feature. However, since it can surf the Web's HTML pages, it should be able to read any Mobipocket book. The most significant potential markets for e-books, IMO, is students who want the portability and convenience of downloading textbook excerpts and travelers who want a handy way to carry guidebooks and airplane reading material.
