Bottom line, Daffy, is that if the publishing industry had to meet your demands there would be no publishing industry. That may be acceptable to you and to many others, but I see a role for publishers for quite some time to come.

As with Moejoe, I wonder why you weren't refusing to read Stephen King when your only choice was hardcover or paperback -- when ebooks didn't exist -- and the paperback version was delayed 12 to 18 months. What makes the ebook so special?
