I recommend both e and pod because most people don't have reading devices yet and few want to read a book on a computer screen. Plus in many instances, reviewers prefer reading a printed book. Give it another three to five years and the devices will be improved and more people will have them. Right now there are only about 20,000 owners of Rocket Ebooks. By the end of 2001 estimates are there will be over a million owners.
People tend to look for nonfiction titles.
You want to learn about cooking with grits, you do a search and one book comes up. But if you are looking for a good mystery and do a search 3000 books come up. Its not easy to know from the title which is which and what's better. People need those books. No, not soon.
