Similar to how e-books and digital music are really no cheaper than their physical counterparts
I just want to say that this is the result of copyright laws and business models that are resistant to change.
The technology is certainly sufficient to make those markets more efficient, and in fact it's quite evident in the independent marketplaces (i.e. self-published books and music)

I don't disagree, but that kinda proves my point that convenience has been an overriding factor. In fact I would say most people now would even be willing to pay a small premium for the convenience benefits. Currently price has not been a determining factor in deciding whether to go completely digital for music or books.
