DVD rental stores will be going away as more people run to the DVD rental machine right down the block or click on the TV to rent a movie instantly from Netflix. This is why the e-book readers will get better & more people will buy one. The publishers are saying a ebook is only 2 to 3 dollars cheaper than a regular hardcover book. Right now they do not want to deal with the coming storm. If an author can bypass the publisher & sell his book cheaper & make more money on the internet, why shouldn't he.
Most of us no longer write checks. How about music? Now it is time for the publishing companies to adapt or die. The Kindle 1 & 2 & Sony e-readers are leading the way.

Been using the REDBOX and BLUEBOX for years and it forces the big DVD rental companies to rethink they're marketing. Charge encourages more change.
The publishers may want to rethink this industry or they will lose out, bigtime! Not only is the ebook less costly to sell, more quickly accessible, etc., but it's also produces less landfill debris...whic is one of my main concerns.
