@Angie: I agree with that quote also!. It seems ebooks really are beginning to grow at an outstanding pace, and rightly so!. I love the fact that you no longer need huge investments to write and publish a book, go with ebooks people;)).

This is a great quote:

I believe it will be the next generation, the kids that have actually learned to read on a screen and do not need a physical object on a shelf to feel ownership.

I know it’s too late to ask new questions but I would have loved to know if they planned to allow people living outside the US to buy from them in the future.

Great artcle as always.

A couple of years ago when I first started buying ebooks, I put the SimonSays.com website on my regular “to-visit” list. Soon after, they stopped carrying then Palm (now eReader) formatted books and I stopped visiting.

Sounds like I’m going to need to head back there.

I wonder if she’d comment on which of the six formats are most popular? I’d suspect Adobe, which is my least preferred of the various offerings.

Thanks for a fascinating peek at a New York publisher’s view of ebooks!
