I need to watch the video, but the title has got me thinking, "What is/will be the new valuable thing if ebooks really do push down the price of books to the end consumer to near zero"? Yes my mind is stuck on that side of things, but then I've been doing less free time coding and more plotting writing projects of late ;)

Downloading an ebook costs less than a tenth of a cent: http://lists.canonical.org/pipermail/kragen-tol/2010-October/000928.html http://lists.canonical.org/pipermail/kragen-tol/2010-October... Of course, there are books you can't get that way legally. I imagine there are books that are hard to find online that you can still get on Amazon. And there are people who don't know how to find ebooks online, even the easy ones like Project Gutenberg and the Internet Archive books.
