This would make a good iPhone background too.

Wow, that seriously rocks. The baseball furies were my favorite gang in The Warriors.

You know what, in life, some things will simply have DRM... and people just won't care.

Now, with music, yes, I want to make mix CDs, I want to give my friend a copy and I want to do what I want. But who makes mix books?

The fact of the matter is, the book reading crowd ain't the DRM crazy people that MP3 users are. And if they are, they most likely don't care about DRM on books.

Personally, I think the Kindle is a cool idea. However, EVDO means (I think) no going out of the USA and the fact that it costs $400 dollars negates any savings made from buying a $25 dollar book for $9.99 (at least in the short run).

Lets face it, society as we know it is more impatient and wants things now, not in 5-7 business days. Not to mention the fact that by downloading a book you don't waste paper/transportation/fuel/etc. And while I would be willing more to not have to deal with an extra book in my house at the end of the day, the startup costs are simply too high and there aren't enough books on the network yet.

In 12 months or so when everyone and their mother has signed up for this I think we will be looking at a new way to read books as we know it... just not now.
