I would say that most of the people who works with books still are kind of conservative and tend to dislike technology. Books after all are doing find for so long, why change anything? Or, worse, Internet (as it happened with cinema, radio, television...) is going to replace the book: bad, bad, bad boys, let's try to keep it the way it always was. But it's impossible to constrain the changes and maybe now people are realizing that everything is going to exist together and mixed. Paulo Coelho is already given the PDFs of his books for free and now Penguin is giving "tasters" for free (but I have to say that it's not new, some Brazilian Publishers and Bookshops have already been doing that for 4 ou 5 years). So, experience it before you buy it! And it seems that China is so, so ahead us in that matter, I hope to find links about that soon.
