Here is another article on the struggle ebooks have been having to gain acceptance. The paragraph that wraps it up though is "In the technological battle to find the perfect way to read electronic books on your palm-top or personal computer, competing formats have put the consumer off. David Steinberg, president of corporate strategy and international in New York with HarperCollins, said: "There was a format war. They compete and are not compatible. That creates resistance."
Much of what else is said was discussed in this article on the future of ebooks last month.
