About a thousand negative "reviews" on the amazon.com booksite should cover it. Kind of like book burning, rather odd that "flaming" is the term for attacking people on-line, no?

Haha! I've heard suggestions for how to get books signed (i.e. somehow creating a space in the book that the author could sign, sort of the way you sign for packages these days), but how on earth will we destroy bytes and pixels?

In all likelihood, though, it will probably be like *Jen* said: electronic protests. Petitioning libraries, etc. Not nearly as fun (and still a hassle for those of us in the library profession).

Protest signs splashed across blogs and facebook accounts "DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS BOOK!"

Not nearly as dramatic as a burning, is it?

LOL!

That is wonderful! Kindles they might be, but they're definitely not tinder.

Cheapskate book-burners will be fresh out of luck.
