I hope the deal concerning POD doesn't become reality, as I do not like the size of the POD books, they are too big. The biggest convenient pbook size is B-format, or 12x19cm, anything bigger is too large. Also, the binding is poor, and the paper feels awful, almost like loo paper. Also, I don't agree that Amazon should control everything, and that in order to have a healthy free market you need to have competition, which if Amazon gets its way won't be there, and we as consumers won't have any alternative or choice but Amazon, which would be extremely undesirable.
