There's an interesting arguement for this on the Good eReader Blog -
"When you look at the movie industry you always get the digital version for free when you buy the hard copy.

I have advocated this before, including on this site I believe. "Real" books will more and more become ornaments and decorative, to be preserved in pristine condition. I have many signed books/1st editions that I haven't physically read, prefering to read a library copy/paperback/kindle/audiobook. This particularly applies to George RR Martin my fave writer - Gary, have you been watching "Game of Thrones"? I have been awaiting a blog post as I'd be interested in your thoughts on the TV show and books if you've read them.
Davieboy - a friend of mind just sent me a recording of the first six episodes of Game of Thrones - I'll likely be posting something about it this coming week.
