I don't know how big of a ripple-effect this will have on publishing, but the e-book has suffered what looks to me like a pretty big setback: Barnes&Noble has stopped selling them.

My view, based on not a lot outside of sheer guesswork, is that e-books won't really become viable until handheld technology is a lot more widespread than it is now. It'll get there, I think, but for now, e-books have been a product without a real market.
