Is he stupid enough to think that as new readers come on the market, the used one's won't be there at a price even the poor can afford? Ummm, that's what sort of happens, you know, that's the only part of the trickle down economy that actually functions. There are certainly a lot of books to be had at much better prices online than in your basic bookstore. Not to mention all the free goodies (oh, of course, I forgot, they give away all of the classic literature for free at most book stores .... riiiiiiight).
Oh my .... why my whole concept of this man has changed!! There you have it ... he's "willing" to consider the ebook reader. Why that makes him positively a saint (and if you can't hear the sarcasm dripping off my fingers, then shame on you).
The man's still a git. Probably the type of person who had "qualms" about indoor toilets whenever those first came out. WHAT?? You mean some people might have the technology to crap indoors??? The very THOUGHT!!!
