Oh I see. Thanks for clearing that up.
And personally I don't want to see print books disappear. They have been around for centuries and even if I hope for all books to be available as e-books, there is something nice about walking around a bookshop and spend some time looking around the shelves and sometimes finding a nice piece. Even if it means in the end to actually get it the electronic way.
