The choice to "license" cough access to an ebook is a valid one, if made with awareness for what exactly that means. I think most people miss that though, because they think that they bought something instead of rented it. Hell, it's usually not even much cheaper than getting the dead-tree version. I have a paper book being shipped to me right now, and I'll have to wait a week. The only electronic version was the Kindle though, and fuck that noise.
