I read both.

If it is a mass market paperback I prefer the ebook. I prefer printed books when they are beautifully done. If it's a standard trade paperback or hard cover, chances are I'll make my decision based on price and/or convenience.

It will be interesting to see how e-books and paper books fare in the years to come. I don't think the two are necessarily the same markets (audio books are another animal as well).

And yes, collegiality in the indutry. It is competitive and many other things too. It would be nice to see ALL of the stakeholders be more supportive of each other. It may be the very thing that keeps us all in (thriving) business!

Happy 2010, Jill

Also, I agree your e-book test seems very reasonable and should be easy enough for some publisher to give it a shot.
Here's to 2010 being great for all of us!
