If you'd read the comments policy, of course, you'd be aware that the links automatically get nofollows spliced onto them, so milking <i>Futurismic</i> for SEO juice is pretty pointless. I'd like you to stick around, but I must request you play by house rules if you choose to do so.

A lot of similarities. However, my experience has been that the book business is a little less "paranoid" than the music business...and thus is moving much more quickly to capitalize now that's it's obvious that ereaders are stimulating the market.

(Kinda like: "You can't beat the sound quality of a real CD or record.") In the other corner: "You can't beat carrying your entire library on your phone." (Kinda like: "You can't beat carrying your entire CD collection in your pocket.") Guess which wins. In one corner:

“You can’t beat the feel of a real book.”

(Kinda like: “You can’t beat the sound quality of a real CD or record.”)
