Talk:750: Book Burning - Revision history

172.69.79.138: Undo revision 348957 by B for brain (talk) We actually try not to use headers in article Talk pages (that could get transcluded awkwardly). And ";" isn't "bold", but really "definition" text.

 Oh yeah, and as I forgot to sign the above, can I also add that I'm sure there's also a joke in that in an attempt to eradicate a book, the protesters are actually ''increasing'' the apparent demand for it.  And, unlike a physical volume the misguided destruction of the electronic copy (or at least the medium it exists on) does not deplete any extant stocks.  (In fact, the person who bought and downloaded the eBook can probably re-download the eBook if the download mechanism allows that for previously authorised purchases.)  And do it enough and they may even print extra ''physical'' copies.  (Soon to be coming to a remaindered book shop near you, and you, and you as well sir...  Way to go to spread the Word!)  "Epic Fail", anyone?

 While the joke is about burning a Kindle, I'm still sad about burning books. Look here: {{w|List of book-burning incidents}}. Burning a book is a kind of violence, this should be mentioned here.
