What's wrong with this picture?

Found on the Chapters/Indigo website. Even if I buy the Kobo reader you can bet I won't be buying their books.

Kobo has discount coupons just about every week that would bring that ebook price down to something more reasonable.

Seriously, I can't find that anywhere. I swear it reads "What's wrong with this picture" on my computer. How bizarre.

Here's what is wrong with that picture-- as far as I can tell, it looks like you were contemplating buying one of the text-only versions of Stardust, when the only version anyone should buy is the illustrated version.

This helps to illustrate my belief that I should buy a cheap e-reader while I wait for the colour ones to come out and please no one say buy an iPad. I'm a big mac fan but I don't need a first gen iPad to read my books on.
