The only reason the book industry and their hack spoksmen want to perptuate the status quo is to keep control of the money stream and that's the only reason pbooks will continue to be published longer than is necessary.

Scotty, get beamed-up man - you're a book industry hack living in a parallel universe, inhabited by troglodytes, luddites and greedy businessmen. And as Yogi Berra also said - 'It's Deja Vu all over again.'
