The only thing that turns me away from ebooks is that most sellers could just stop providing books to you.<p>If amazon goes out of business and your kindle breaks, good luck getting your books back.<p>I can&#x27;t imagine trusting any service that I don&#x27;t host with data as important as the contents of books.<p>I have some books that have been passed down to me by my grandpa from Russia. I wouldn&#x27;t be able to do that with an ebook that I don&#x27;t host myself.<p>TL;DR: When it gets less proprietary and I can use my own device and storage medium I&#x27;ll buy into it.
