Why should we have a clue about GI Joe, in the UK we had the far superior Action Man, He had moving eyes, gripping hands and he ate GI's for breakfast. Honestly, I knew of GI Joe, but until the recent movie, did not not know that the bad guys were called Cobra.

It's in an ISPs best interests to increase bandwidth before their competitors do. I know that there is often not a lot of choice so consumers dont have many options, but if one company makes the jump and increases bandwith significantly, how long before customers start jumping ship, especially once they realise that Netflix etc start working better.

Open plan office, so about 30, most of them too damn noisy. TGIF and quittin' time

I was a Crash reader - you want to make something of it. Not the parent poster, but just thought I'd stick my oar in.

I think there is also a psychological difference in this comparison. If I buy music, I need something to play it on. When my portable CD player stopped working, I bought one of those new fangled MP3 players. However I have never needed to buy anything in addition to the book to be able to read it. So telling me that I need to splash £200 on an e-book reader, and then still pay the same for the e-book as for a paperback does not 'feel' right to me. There will never be a natural upgrade cycle.

Also, with music, I have the added value advantage of having hundreds of albums available to me, and often listen to my i-Pod on shuffle. I have never felt the need to 'shuffle' through my books, reading one page at a time. That's not to say I only ever read more than one book at a time, and I can see the advantage in having multiple books in one small device when travellimg, it's just that to me, this is not worth the current cost of a reader

There was an episode of Top Gear, where they took a hybrid prius, and drove it flat out round a track, they followed this car with a BMW, doing the same speed - guess which got better mileage.
