It's an interesting observation that there wasn't really a viable market for an ebook device with large-capacity, expensive write-only media - it's not that publishers didn't want to sell e-books, or that readers didn't want a library-on-a-CD, but that there was no good way to sell individual books since customers couldn't burn their own CDs, and didn't want to carry 50 CDs with them.
