If it's any indication (or a contra-indication), the publishing  
industry (and government think-tanks that have investigated this on  
behalf of the printing industry) are not quivering in their collective  
boots over the prospect of e-books 'revolutionizing' book publishing.

Many studies show that paper-based book production will remain the  
favoured method of reading, regardless of whatever the electronics  
industry might think.

Nonetheless, it's always fun to watch the efforts of those with vested  
interests in DRM and technology looking at ways to make money from the  
exercise.
