As an author, though, I have to wonder where are the profits are going when the production costs for an eBook are next to nothing. I can understand the publishers being concerned about two different prices for what they will argue are the same thing, but they aren't really. In a bookstore I am getting words, cover art - the physical book in my hot little hands whereas for my Sony Reader, I am getting a file. I agree that eBooks are the future, I'm just not yet convinced they will take the place of good old brick and mortar.
