you're going to end up with a massive animal welfare crisis on your hands. All those cows, pigs, sheep, chickens etc are no longer going to be wanted by mankind.
we've got Creationists, Bible thumpers, who will eat this if and when a gunn ( that they probably left unattended) is put to their heads
and get rid of the ridiculous DRM that prevents me from actually owning the book, and then lets talk. In the meantime I'll stick to Project Gutenberg and DRM-free niche publishers.

You do realize that the Gates kids are only getting 2mil each from inheritance. That isn't even a rounding error compared to the amount of money Bill still has. All of his money is going into a charity.
I dunno.
I've been an Ubuntu user for years, my wife a Win person. I recently built a desktop with Libux only, and she uses it and likes it, and she is not a techie by any stretch of the imagination.
Most people use Windows because they've been using Windows.
Windows 8 isn't really "Windows" as they knew it, it requires change. People hate change and if they're going to change, maybe they'll look at alternatives. If they have the cash, they might go for Macs (look at the sales figures lately).
Why do they want even more than for a the paperback?

Google magazines sometimes wants double what a print version costs

More facts, less emotion.
Okay, here are FACTS . If you think that all their money comes from their members, you sir are more than just a bit delusional. ( BTW, I was a life member, before the NRA became the mouthpiece of the gun manufacturers )
No, actually, they don't give a shit. I could make myself a firearm, RIGHT NOW, and they're OK with that (so long as it doesn't infringe on certain things, like bore diameter, barrel length if it's a shotgun or pistol.. stuff you can own, but need some licenses (tax stamps) from the ATF to own).
For the price of a single 3D printer you could slam out dozens of zip guns. Don't even need any serious machining tools for that.
The whole 3D printed gun scare is just that. A scare. It's headlines. That is all.
Kid, I was "slamming out dozens of zip guns" before you, OR 3D printers were a glimmer in somebody's eye, now get the hell off my lawn

If they don't... what's cheaper than Windows 8?
Ubuntu, Lubuntu, and a host of others
Microsoft has every incentive to do this, and no disincentive.
Seriously, how many people are going to switch to Linux over this? Nobody.
