the costs of printing the book are tiny compared to the multiple editors, making the cover, and other costs of bringing a book to market.
not like the author just writes a book. it takes 3 or more people to read it and correct hundreds of mistakes, send it back to the authoer, reread it, etc
the problem is getting the book into the used market. a lot of people would just throw the book out because the prices paid by the used book stores like Strand were too low for most people to take the time to sell their books
in a digital market that is yet to be seen and the uncertainty is what scares everyone
where else will i go to meet and talk to people i know for an hour or two at a time? its like a town meeting square where people go for hours just to stand around
if you're going to slack off, log on to VPN and slack off. i work with people who work from home and offices in different states. everyone is always available and you know they are working because there are always emails flowing and tickets being done
you can customize android for your environment. download it from AOSP and add any drivers you need, etc
iOS, Win Phone and others are products you buy as is and use as is. most you can do with iOS is buy the enterprise software license to load your own apps outside the app store
The year 1000 was in the middle of another global warming cycle and there were too many people for some parts of the world. So they went out to conquer, rape and pillage other parts of the world.

i bet they have to type out your name, DL number and other info from your ID to match up to the ticket info.
if you scan a credit card then that's already an identifying piece of info so they can get it from the database. since you have the CC in hand, you are probably the person who bought the ticket.
security and lessening financial liability due to fraud. say you steal someone's CC to buy a ticket. you go to the counter with your ID and it will be easier to flag you. same for TSA requirements
slide credit card and/or enter a few numbers to identify yourself answer a question or two about checked luggage grab your ticket/key
