Interesting/worrying news re eBooks and Amazon's plans to create a second hand market for them, which might have terrible consequences for the small presses and author's royalties.

This weird concept fits perfectly in a CAS site...

Eventually we shall have "signed" eBooks with a photo of the author's signature.

Where will all this end?

Cheers, all!

And I'm guessing that libraries will be repositories of obsolete and unreadable hard drives...

Perhaps we should emulate Eli, or the folks in Fahrenheit 451?
