I acknowledge the ebook trend, and the threat to writers and publishers in planned library book cuts. I'm rearranging what I write and for whom accordingly. But I'm still buying "real" books online: in the past week $US39.91 spent at Powell's and £13.69 at the Book Depository. On my income this has to be regarded as luxury spending.
