Hi Terence, Good post, and I agree with most of it. But, I need to check if I understood correctly. When you said "Every time I find an ebook copy of a book I have on my shelf, the ebook version is downloaded", did you me that you re-bought every single book again, but in an e-version?? Wouldn't it be cheaper if you could scan all of your books and convert them to ebooks? I think we should have a company doing this. BTW I just searched in google and found this http://www.blueleaf-book-scanning.com. However, their prices seems higher than buying the ebook from Amazon!!! Cheers,
