I'm not sure what you are trying to say here, are you claiming that cd sales have been annihilated by digital downloads? If that is the case then your analogy falls down right there as cds and digital downloads co-exist just as readily as blu-ray and dvd does.

Incidentally, comparing ebooks and paperbooks to digital downloads and cds is far more valid than trying to compare them to blu-ray and dvd because in the last pair, one format has a noticeable quality benefit that isn't the case with books or music.
