@SenorMysterioso : paperbacks don't cost $6 of course, but much more.
nonetheless, what everyone seem to miss with this kindle thing, is that when all literature will be digital used books won't exist anymore. This big part of our life as readers (especially, but not only, its beginnings) won't exist anymore. Everything, no matter how old and how little read or cared for, will cost exactly like new. Demo-dictatorship of digital life if you will. Of course, there will be piracy for the reader with no money. But piracy is supposedly illegal where a decent exchange of used books isn't.
