I'd go one step further, though -- they should only be sold TO trustworthy individuals, lest they become debased by association with the mundane.

You need to be a responsible person to get a gun license qualifying you to own a gun; I don't see what is so unreasonable about holding books to the same standard.

If only books had been a regulated industry before, we wouldn't have this problem. You and I both know Amazon doesn't have a special snowflake's chance in hell of getting a license, the illiterate, anti-book, commercialist scumbags.
