It's a lot more than five bucks for a friggin' paperback around here! But I agree
most people can still easily afford it.
And the problem with books is you don't realize they're crap until after you pay the
$15 (yes, $15) and actually read it and by then you've wasted irreplaceable time and
money. I'm not saying al books are bad, some are definitely good (like HHGTG). Then
there's the music industry... usually only one or two songs on a CD are well known
and you can almost never listen before you buy. I'm not saying anything about
myself, but lots of people use illegal mp3s as a "listen before you buy" thing.
