]]> http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/203448-reading-on-the-kindle-in-public Marc made a comment in the Amazon Kindle group:

Books are going through the same growing pains as music. Many authors and publishers (and musicians) want to control their audience's experience. They want the audience to read (or hear) their words (or music) exactly how they intend it to be read (or heard). So they resist the "digital revolution."

As traditional forms of media go by the wayside, it's difficult for an artist to present their product in such a way that it portrays exactly what they want it to portray every time, but still make it widely available in the latest and greatest formats. Certainly, we who read eBbooks or listen to digital music do miss out on part of the experience. Anything from a CD's liner notes to the instructions to muggle postal workers on the box Harry Potter And The Deathly Hollows pre-orders were shipped in.

Certainly there is a financial aspect to this as well, but I think others have covered that thoroughly.

Oh, and no, I don't use a cover for my Kindle. Perhaps I just like living on the edge; I have no case on my iPhone either. To me, a cover detracts from the quality of my experience and the convenience of operation. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/77639530 Curse of the Spider King: The Berinfell Prophecies Series - Book One (Hardcover) by Wayne Thomas Batson
