Ebooks have never really taken off. I guess the readers are expensive and cumbersome, but I love reading books on my Sony Vaio (a color handheld that uses the Palm OS). Palm Digital Media sells lots of excellent books for the Palm OS, and the prices are quite reasonable. I am reading Bill Bryson's latest, A Short History of Nearly Everything, and was happy to see that Fredric Brown's terrific nover, The Fabulous Clipjoint is available there for under $5.
