Nick Hornby writes off eBooks

Author Nick Hornby has launched a stinging attack on eBook readers, claiming they are so expensive that even multi-millionaire stars don't want them.

Hornby claims his local bookstore is "piled high" with Iliad eBook readers.
And he claims that despite the low cost of the associated eBooks (£4), interest in the £400 devices remains minimal.
"Attempting to sell people something for £400 that merely enables them to read something that they won't buy at one hundredth of the price seems to me a thankless task," Hornby writes on his blog.
