Google launches ebook store with world’s largest library of titles. If we have an internet connection then we can read it easily anytime and anywhere. But I want to purchase it.

When the majority of content has been digitized, taxing/toll both for content becomes really the only tolerable pricing model. Paul Graham has written eloquently on this phenomenon (see Post-Medium Publishing at http://www.paulgraham.com/publishing.html).

As e-book readers become cheaper and cheaper more books will be within the reach of even those readers who are not that much into gadgets. The biggest advantage of course is it is beneficial to the environment and digital books save trees at least to some extent.
