And no e-book reader needed.

I like how you present the book shopper's options, and the prospect of paying for the right to a book in every format is intriguing. My own typical buying experience is not so much "I want it now" as "I want it, and I can wait a few days because I have this other stack of books waiting for me anyway." I'm also one of those who prefer the "souvenir edition." I'm glad we have so many choices, but I'd still rather hold a real book in my hands than a personal-portable-wireless-global-rechargeable-electronic-book-reader-device (not that there's anything wrong with it!).
