Wonderful idea. Jayhawk Send a noteboard - 04/09/2009 12:29:42 AM

Maybe ebooks will go down a compromise route similar to buying a CD and copying it to your MP3 - you bike the book and are able to download a digital version (for free or a reduced price as you have already bought a copy)


That's one of the only ways I'd switch.
