Re: "The Elusive E-book"

One way to make people buy eBooks is to make eBooks of material which is 
unavailable or prohibitively expensive in paper form. Take a look at the 
prices for which some rare second-hand books are being sold, for 
instance: three or four of those would easily pay for an electronic 
reprint.. I know some people only collect for the covers, or the paper, 
or the binding; but that aside, there are still plenty of well-heeled 
people who simply want to get their hands on the content, even if it was 
just digital photos stitched into a PDF file. Dealing with copyright 
issues? That's where your publishing skills come in.
