I had not yet heard about the 3 strikes, and you lose internet privileges - scary. I love what Mr. Doctorow has to say about his electronic books being enticements for people to buy traditional print copies. This may not always be the case, but I don’t see people giving up what they can hold in hand and read in bathroom or wherever any time soon. If electronic books are offered at reasonable prices (way less than a print version since there are few publishing costs), I think folks who want them for their readers would be more than happy to pay. After all, an author who sells a million downloads at a dollar a download will make more than selling 200 books at $20.oo each. Just rambling, but I enjoyed the interview.
