Sweet Thing

If you would have asked me in 2000, what my "Medium" collection would have have looked like, I would have said MP3, eBooks, etc.  I now have found myself collecting and purchasing the physical media more then ever.  With the release of the Kindle/iPad, it was supposed to revolutionize the way we lived and read.  It didn't in my case.  The iPod has changed how I listen to music on the go but not at home.  Doesn't change the fact that I like to feel a book in my hand, flip through record inserts and hold a piece of art in my hand.  The fact that people will not be doing any of this in a few years is upsetting to me.  They are missing out on something special.  Question to ponder..

How can companies honestly charge a few dollars less for a digital version when you arent getting anything other then 0's and 1's?  Sell the medium, give the digital for free...The art lives...
