    The "idea" of an ebook is what I like. But there really is no substitute for a real book in my hands.

    I hate ebooks, mainly because the majority of ones i've read have been scams or free information I can find myself!

    Are you asking what people are interested in or what we are interested in?

    I think that there is no deference, book is book and if it is good for cognition or entertainment, then it is worth reading. I think scams can be recognized from the first glance...

    People usually buy ebooks on subjects that aren't freely available - hypnosis, magic tricks - stuff that they can't fnd anywhere else

    well, magic tricks always look good to me. And, if you buy those books for reselling, you usually get something worth the money. There's a downside though - alot of the authors use compilers that make use of Internet Explorer engine.

    Also, i think alot of people (me included) would be interested on "original" crafts, for example, homebrew jewelery, or in some instructable ebook on some interesting skill - pyrotechnics and lockpicking.

    I used hypnosis just as an example of the type - truth is, you can't get decent eboks on hypnosis. It takes normal books with hundreds of pages to learn. At most, you'll get introductory ebooks - if you choose well.

    Oh, and i've seen examples (usually my friends from a nearby university) of HUGE recipes ebooks selling well.
