Another report attacking ebooks.

"While ebooks have become more popular, growth is being slowed by several issues, including complicated interfaces, business models, and a general lack of awareness among students and faculty."

Personally, there are too many platforms, too much DRM. I'd like to see one english langauge provider with reach, similiar to iTunes. Until publishers start to cooperate and listen to libraries, they're not going to get our money in the magnitude we can pay. We spend billions on books.

Look at the textbook industry mess. 50% of cost for 4 months of access, students stop buying print and electronic textbooks. Forget about digital gold, the future entails smaller not larger revenue streams. I'm guessing 60% of the glory days. Folks want prices falling annually not increasing. Find a way to make that happen.
