As someone who got an HP548 with the idea "wouldn't it be
neat if I can read the new Harry Potter book on my 548,
i've come to the conclusion that e-books are for all
practicle purposes dead.
HP/Compaq/etc. all promised e-books for the ppc,
all have failed miserably to deliver on this promise.
I blame Microsoft more than anyone else. After all
if Apple can deliver music to us why can't Microsoft
deliver e-books.
If the people who publish e-books ran the print
books operation they would find a way to put you
in jail for letting your sister borrow a printed
book.
IMHO lots of people dropped the ball on e-books. Many
promised us the world for e-books and failed to deliver.
If I had known that before shelling out more than $500
for that 548 I'd have opted not to get the 548.
