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...
