I don't see how its much different.
Yes, and I do. The price of CD's have dropped. FYE near us sells all CD's for 9.99 per disc. What was your point again?

Also to point something out, this is a ridiculous comparison. You can trivially take a CD and make an MP3/AAC copy of it in about two minutes time without any manual intervention and a very, very high rate of success in terms of quality results. This can be done with a common personal computer with nothing more than the average PC equipment of a hard drive and cd-rom reader.

When you can do that same thing with a physical book -> eBook, this comparison will make sense. We'll talk again then.
