And I appreciate your 'harping on [I'll say 'hyperbolic'] marketing schemes.' WE should kick it down a notch, and be able to enjoy things that (both) don't claim to be life-changing, and are not cheap. Finally, there were some terrific covers for a book called Never Let Me Go, by Kazuo Ishiguro. Very nice.

A couple of Salinger books I have are just plain white books with the title and the author's name; I prefer that. Kindle is for cyborgs.
