I just don't get it, really. I don't buy books for the purpose of having many piles of bound paper bricks all over my house. I buy the content. The paper is merely a delivery mechanism.

Mr Jordan is, I think, going to have a difficult time convincing the iPod generation that the physical format of purchased content is any more meaningful than the box my iPod came in. I unpacked my iPod and tossed the box in my recycle bin.

We're approaching a time when people will be able to recycle those piles of books (my husband will be so happy, he keeps tripping over the durn things) after transforming the content into something that can be stored on a hard drive and tossed in a drawer.

In that context, it is difficult for me to understand the need to repurchase the content I've already paid for just because I can't easily get it out of the 'box' it came in.
