The world is moving on. (I think I read that somewhere).
Ownership is out. Renting, leasing, subscribing is in.
I'm slowly coming to terms with that. Netflix in, DVDs out. CDs out, Pandora in. Want to buy software? Can't do it, got to pay an annual subscription.
Ebooks will go the same way. My gripe with that is they still want us to pay ownership level prices for books we only get a license to read. Eh, more and more of my books are coming from the library.
