ebooks are far more flexible and allow you to be able to take your ebook with you everywhere. It's great how it allows me the possibilities of reading my ebooks when in line, on a train or anywhere as it matters.

Just adding to my earlier comment, I think that they should drop the prices of ebooks when compared to physical books. Why? It costs them hardly anything to produce the book in digital format when compared to the physical printing on paper with the binding, etc. Personally, I'd rather pay the price for a physical book that I can put on my shelf than get one that is on my Palm. Unless they drop the price of ebooks, I doubt that they can convince me to buy one. Why are we paying about the same price for an ebook if we can get it in hard copy? They won't get a cent from me until I find that it's cheaper to buy an ebook rather than the physical book.
