I believe the main reason would be the Amazon's service to deliver the eBooks from the store directly to the device.

Amazon already has a service when you can read the books that you have purchased online while you are waiting for the physical book to arrive in mail. And this is for the additional price of $5-$6!

So I am afraid Amazon will provide eBook service on the same basis - you need to buy a real book and you pay extra for the eBook service. This is ridiculous for me, as I can always come and relax in Barnes&Noble while reading the same book for free, like in the library.

Let's hope there will be a discount for eBooks compared to physical books, but I do not believe in that.

P.S. And about your comment, Mike: it is much more convenient to use eBook reader instead of laptop, trust me. I was seduced on eBook side immediately after I tried it. It's almost like reading a physical book.
