c'mon now, he was the attorney general, do you seriously think he didn't know he was going to get caught?

with Audible in its repository, Amazon could easily offer customers the chance to pay extra, say $10 to $20, to buy a book in all three formats (print, audio, digital) and save you the hassle of re-buying a book in audio or for the Kindle that you already own or want to purchase in print-format.

we've traded focus & specialization for broad generalized learning in the hopes of producing 'well rounded' individuals (at least officially). While great in theory, in practice it fattens the coffers of our nation's largest (private) universities & secondary education systems.
