To me, a 50" TV is a 50" TV and if the manufacturers got together and agreed to fix the price in order to increase their profits they are guilty of price fixing. A book is a book and if the publishers got together and agreed to fix prices in order to increase profits they are guilty of price fixing.
So why bother reading then if a book is a book... pure rubbish... A James Patterson thriller equals Khaled Hosseini's Thousand Suns equals the Bible equals The Gruffalo equals someone who doesn't need to read or understand books and is obviously wasting time on a site concerned with books and the mechanics of reading...

A 50" TV is a 50" TV is vastly different... they're essentially the same at heart and if you think that about books then...
