Great...so you pay the fee (soul included) and then a month latter Amazon
pulls a Zune and the shop is closed, the books are all called home and your
soul is sent to the place where they play Pettycoat Junction reruns
24/7...oh and they have recast the three girls with Daryl Daryl and his
brother Daryl.

Your willingness to sell yourself short astounds me. Yes i get the fact you
are a TRex when it comes to book consumption, but assuring a constant supply
of velociratpers to dine on by selling your ability to diggest properly is
hardly a bargin.
