See, I buy books in data format. But I *don't* buy 'ebooks'.
I buy stuff from webscription.net where I get a set of HTML files to download and keep. And they generally cost about $6 rather than $10. (More when they're brand-new, but that doesn't bother me.)
I can't imagine paying for any book-on-computer that *isn't* in HTML - I like putting things in my browser so I can adjust and resize to my heart's content. Reading things in PDF is painful. And I certainly don't want to buy something tied to a proprietary device that can be snatched away...
