Re: ebooks "a smoke and mirrored mess"?

addendum: I just asked one of my daughters (aged 10) what web site she thought of first when she thought of music. Without hesitation, the answer was "Youtube". I asked her why, and she said she likes that you see the videos with the music, and that you only have to type in a search, and then it's "eezy peezy" (sic). 

It used to be that kids hassled their parents to buy them CDs, or in my youth, it was LPs. Now, the parents role is to answer questions like "Dad, how do you spell "Lily Allen"?
