		<description>Monopoly Alert!

It seems to me that at some point down the road amazon will also demand exclusivity with *ebooks* too.

I can foresee amazon having an agent or two trolling the publishers in NYC to get an advance peek of what's cooking and then offering a "co-publishing" deal that will grant them a monopoly on the e versions.

Jaysus, I better start lighting candles for Apple to enter ebooks!!</description>
