Shooting themselves in the foot.... (none / 0) (#1)

As far as I'm concerned, that'd be a yes.  There are too many competing formats, restrictions, platform issues, etc, and they've just turned me off altogether.  I buy a lot of technical books, and would be happy to spend a few bucks for an e-book format if I could read them where I wanted, when I wanted, without having to jump through a lot of hoops.  Until that happens, paper works just fine -- and I can resell or give them away without any hassle, either!
