But it does say that they will be selling them all from Thursday which by my calendar is the 4th

Isn't it funny the music industry said that mp3 players would never kill the CD but when was the last time you saw a kid under 16 with a CD? (Oddly a full set of decks and some 12" records yes ) But never a CD.

But Kids like books - and if they are easy to carry and read (especially as this technology grows and we get to colour screens etc) I think there will be a change.

My own point of view on music is download the tracks if you like em buy the CD.

For books I think it should be the same as some of the video producers where you can buy the electronic version of the film for imediate and futre views and they also send you the actual disc as well.

Now that is how ebooks should be done erm, Rant over and back to the day job
