I agree with you, ChristopherTD. I hate looking forward to a new release from an author whose previous books have been available as ebooks, only to have the new one not available.
Jorgen, as far as the leasing/buying thing, I'm just trying not to think about it. I'm hoping that if ereader folds and software is no longer available, that there are enough of their ebooks out here to make it worth someone's while to develop software to reformat the books. I know it will be illegal, but I guess at that point I wouldn't care.
I don't know what's happening with the eInk world. So far I think every dedicated reader has had it's own proprietary format and hasn't been successful; I hope the new Sony fails too, to teach them a lesson (which they should have already learned). I don't know what formats the Iliad supports or will support. I don't want a dedicated reader myself, but if one is successful, I guess that will create a demand for more ebooks. Right now I have an aging iPAQ 4700, so I don't know where I go from there; I'm too old to read books on a two inch screen.
