Exactly. Like Lp record albums with a notch or hole punched in the jacket, these were either credit returns or promo pieces. (I have seen in the old days a lot of coverless paperbacks in junk sales.)
Is there a Kindle Kult? Sure. It is part of the ebook cult. Lets hope that things take off so much that we can leave the cult status behind. (Although at the rate things are going, soon reading itself will be a cult.)
