I agree with you about the e-book should be a fraction of the price of an actual book. I think that buying an e-book should save us money, not making a hole in our pockets!

Or downloading and reading books off of Project Gutenberg. ^^ They have been collecting and offering (free of charge) public domain ebooks and other ebooks that have been freely given by their authors since 1971.

@Lennatron It's because I see digital publishing only as a "parallel" technology to put next to traditional books. E-books are great for PDFs and also for free or cheap publications. That's why I love my kindle. BUT if I had to choose (at almost the same price) between a digital and a physical book, for a number of reasons I'd choose the latter, first of all because it's an intrinsically better "device" for reading. E-books win for the quantity of material, traditional books for the quality ;)

@Marcel Gomez ok you're probably right about that "lacking confidence" part, but my point still stands. responding with an emotional jab isn't going to hide the fact that not only are you VERY late to the party, but i also didn't ask to be notified for name changes on a service i don't even care about. edit: and as for that "why so defensive" part? defending your point is pretty much the entire point of an argument.

If you are among the 95% of the world population not living in the US, the closest you can get to the experience described by the video is buying ebooks from Amazon and reading them anywhere with the iPad, the Samsung Galaxy, a mobile phone, a PC or Mac. Most ebook sellers, Barnes & Noble, Apple and Google included, do not seem to realize that there is revenue to be made in Europe, Asia, the entire Americas and elsewhere.

Now to be honest this will take a few decades to really take over, because people still like the feeling of having a book with pages but then again that's just now, even though I would prefer to have a book of real pages, that doesn't matter cause society changes and the future generations will grow up and prefer virtual books in the coming decades, so I think it'll work at that point.

Too bad this doesn't even exist. So much for 'choice'. Google Play Books doesn't even let you import ebooks you already own. So much for syncing and storing 'all' your books. Expected more openness from Google. Unfortunately this is probably a restriction Google agreed to in order to secure contracts with publishers..

As much as I would rather not to be constrained to one bookstore with their proprietary format, Amazon sells worldwide almost all the books that I need.
