yes one will drive the other - itunes drove the electronic format of music (regardless of your stance on Apple they carried clout with the labels and changed the way the world buys and listens to music). Now CD sales are evaporating. Some hate Amazon some love them either way I think they are uniquly suited to perform a similar role in the publishing arena
