But the speed with which a book <i>can</i> be published doesn't always work in its favour. However, I have been appalled at the print books I've bought that are rife with typos!C.

Very nice as a reader -- plus it <i>does other things</i> unlike the Kindle. Color, too!<br /><br />Most publishers -- if they have a lick of sense -- are preparing ebooks for a variety of platforms. Looking forward to the day when there is only one (epub or PDF?).<br /><br />@Todd, yeah -- it pays not to be an early adapter at times, though you can sell off your early model to the later adapters who don't want to spend as much.C.
