Wow you guys post fast. So many posts while I was typing in mine. Maybe I'm just a slow typist, lol.
Halk, I'm all for subscriptions vs. buying. To me the reason to buy a paper book is because there is value in physically having it. In other words it takes time and money to actaully access a physical copy. So owning it and having it physically in your home has value. With electronic copies this is no longer the case (or the cost is so low it might as well be 0). I'd be all for subscribing to Amazon and just reading whatever book, magazine, or newspaper I want as long as I keep up my subscription. I really have no desire to own any of it. I do this for music, television, movies, and even for technical books already. To me I see no reason for anyone other than the creator to actually own content. I only want to pay to access content.
