Maaawww.... up until 1502, it was possible to own every printed book ever released, provided you had the money. How am I supposed to read 3 million books a year? Lunacy! I can't even read that many blurbs to make a choice!

Writing should become a protected profession. Something you can study... a study that takes 15 years, requires an A++ to pass, and you'll only earn an average salary, ever. Then only the very best and most devoted people will write. A new book should be at least 1000 pages long, and writers must be prohibited to write more than one book every 10 years. A new release should cost $500.

That way, books will be great to read, be worth a lot again, and I'll be able to own every book ever printed as of that time.
