    I think the entire ebook pricing thing is an example of how the legal system can't keep up with the advancements in technology. Great picts

    Thanks. Going to read that article on pricing.

    That second picture is awesome. The others are cool too, but I'm not crazy about insects and frogs.

    I'm admittedly torn when e-pricing is brought up. As a writer, I support a higher pricing structure that enables authors to receive decent compensation for their work; as a reader, I support a lower pricing structure that enables consumers to buy as many works as possible.

    And absolutely fabulous pictures! I particularly love the second and third ones. Excellent work!

    Nice photos. Like others said I'm partial to #2 and 3--simply magical.

    Good to hear the e-reader price going down.
