Some types of content are not good candidates for e-book distribution.
To successfully sell e-books, users must benefit from them.
For example, putting a novel into an e-book does not necessarily guarantee its success.

In general, most people don't like to read a lot of text on a computer screen.
In fact, some computer users prefer to print lengthy online articles and then read them.
Many people work most of the day in front of a computer screen;
They don't use computer screens for the fun of reading.
Portability is a problem.
Even small laptops and handheld computers are not as portable as paperbacks.

You can't snuggle up in bed with a computer so comfortably.
