If I drop my iphone or Sony Reader, I've just lost hundreds of dollars. Still, there are so many situations it's more convenient to use my iphone to read than a paper book, I guess it's a wash (so to speak) OK, I love ebooks, but if I drop a paperback in the tub, I’m out 10 bucks or so (maybe 15).

Dave Slusher said: "When I get my Kindle, one of my first actions will be to redownload that entire library of books I’ve bought in Mobipocket format, which can be read by the Kindle natively. Right out of the gate, I’ll have that library to draw on." I hope Dave is talking about NON-DRM Mobipocket. If he bought the DRM'ed variety from Fictionwise (or anyone else) he's going to be disappointed - or find himself on the same side of the "law" (DMCA) as me :-) Great article!
