You know, I've been voting with my wallet and nothing has ever changed in my favor. Same with voting! A single vote/purchase can change things (but not if your me!!!). Now, if consumers could collude (reverse the tables on companies for the first time in history), but I don't see that happening as my rampant eclecticism and morbid fear of illegal activities virtually guarantees that I would not fit in anywhere or accomplish anything.
Herding cats, my friends, herding cats. In this case, wishy-washy, indecisive, witless, shy, and nervous/paranoid cats.
Problem number One (1, I, Uno, Ichi, etc.) is something I feel with keen zestfulness and surely needs to be fixed (it is a problem the likes of which should be remedied). Hardware, software, and publishing companies are treating e-reading devices and software platforms like they are video game systems and it is annoying (those types of tactics work fine in the game world, but they feel positively underworld in the book universe. Guido is waiting outside your door.).
