I went through years of problems (not always contiguous). Never found a cause. However sometimes something random helps a heap. In my case, I went on an acrobatic flight in a Tiger Moth. Something about the negative Gs seemed to really help, and I have had no further relapse. I am trying to maintain a daily 50 situp regime, as this seems to help the muscles that support the back. I do my writing from a Jason LaZBoy recliner, using a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. This at least keeps my back straight. I am using a firm Latex mattress, will a pillow top to soften it somewhat. Hotel beds were always a risk, but I just returned from Cape York (many strange beds, many small cramped aircraft) and things continue well. Good luck! Hang in there on the back pain.

I haven't changed my views, but these links give you more of the publisher's point of view: http://www.forbes.com/2009/03/21/ebook-iphone-oreilly-technology-breakthroughs-ebook.html http://toc.oreilly.com/2008/08/pricing-digital-book-content-wheres-the-sweet-spot.html http://toc.oreilly.com/2009/02/expectation-of-fair-pricing-no.html The latter, in particular, talks about the consumer expectation of FAIR pricing, with which I agree. I don't expect Ruth Rendell's latest book to be FREE in e-book format. But I do expect it to be priced fairly in comparison to the hardcover format.
