Libraries could, but we may still need bookshops to have advice on the books, and editors. Publishing a book has never and will never just be the act of writing and then sending it to humanity. You need people correcting the text, you need someone to give you advice on where and how to publish it (the editors select books for their collections and themes) and there is a lot of work to transform the sole text in a readable object. Believe me, I'm just typesetting and sci-fi book of a friend of mine. There _is_ an infrastructure cost, that would not be paid in any circumstances. We have a lot of work to adapt our economy to the digital world, and the solution is not pretending digital world makes distribution cost disappear. That is an affirmation that is not connected to reality. Realistically, Nowhere man -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] OpenPGP 0xD9D50D8A
