if they undercharge for the machine,
they will overcharge for the books...
and if they undercharge for the books,
they will overcharge for the machine...
what we really want (or _should_)
is for them to charge the fair price
for the machine and for the books.
that's why we need to stop all this
ridiculous twitter on $50 machines.
even if it was realistic (and it's not,
by a longshot, not even close to it),
it simply wouldn't be a _fair_ price...
that's not to say that a _bookseller_
-- especially one as big as amazon --
wouldn't dangle it out there as bait...
but you know what happens to the
fish who go for the bait, don't you?
