I did read Atlas Shrugged, in paperback it's not that big of a hassle. I mean if you're fumbling around with that book in paper format perhaps an expensive unit in one hand isn't the best idea.

I'm never said anything about fumbling. I was talking about comfort. The iPad would be much more comfortable to hold than a copy of Atlas Shrugged.

Books aren't ever going to go digital widespread. The majority of readers want no part in digital, and authors hate it - they're already signing clauses in publishing contracts that their books cannot be sold that way. They don't make enough money to become victims of piracy.

I think that is a mistake of the small number of authors that are doing that and will only shrink their audience. Digital books are gaining ground and the best way to cope with a new technology is to work with, not against it.
