I think it's about time! I've looked for a LotR e-book in the past and have been disgruntled to find they're illegal. Well, finally they're above-board. They will never ever, not for me, replace paper. It isn't the same and that isn't the point. What the e-book is good for is the ability to search within the book, copy and paste quotes, and take with on adventures with a small pack.
Of course, it will promote cheating at quiz games and general laziness, but that's beside the point.
E-books are helpful for projects; I've used them in the past few days. For instance having the Bible on the computer is the ultimate time-saver as it allows instant searching for passages.
Still, it costs too much so I probably won't buy it, no.
