OK, a book that runs 4,934 pages may seem a bit daunting... until you are told that's an e-book being read on a Palm Pilot. A miserable experience, right? Not so, according to this author. "I found most of the typical complaints about reading e-books--that they're hard to see, not tactile enough, impersonal, an eye strain--to be moot." So why won't people buy them? Could it be the unreasonable pricing and distribution policies?
