To copy a book takes time and is normally costly. To copy a ebook is simple and easy. But why not include a CD with every book, that way you get the best of both worlds.

all you said are right
what's more?
I think the attitude of the books' writer are much more careful and professinal, the ebook will be more relaxed.
the content of the book will be more professional and worthy, the content of ebook will be more simple and easy to be a writer as an ebook author.

it's easy to have your own works on ebook, but not easy to have your own book published
the publish fee decides the difference of ebook and book

Mostly South African publishers are really not interested in any book that hasn't something to do with conviction of past events. They are not interested in real fantasy and fiction. For the last 6 years I have tried everything to get my books solicited and have it looked at.

It has been nothing but a waste of time... Our publishers are narrow-minded and our writers are suffering heavily for the publisher's narrow-mindedness. I can only hope they go bankrupt so that real publishing entities can take over and writers will once again be free to write about anything not just this BS stuff that is basically forced down onto the public.
