I recently wrote an entry for my blog about this topic. I have nothing against ebooks, but DRM, lack of a dependable, universal platform, content, and pricing keep me from ebooks. Some books are best to be held, but I could just as easily adapt to an electronic format.
Lately I've been downloading public domain books from Manybooks.net and republishing them in Repligo to read on my 6945. I currently have War and Peace loaded. That ought to keep me busy for a while.
I would gladly adopt ebooks, but I have to know that the reader will be supported, and my content will move from device to device and WM release to WM release. The thought occured to me, what if, in 2003, I bought into an ebook platform for my iPaq 3765 with WM2002? Would my content have moved through my other devices, or would it have been locked to that Pocket PC?
I'll happily adopt ebooks when my personal concerns are addressed.
