We looked at it for a long time, we really wanted to make something like that work, but the realities of the technology and the retail world prevented that from being viable. The fraud that we were inviting from that, the dissatisfaction of players who buy a book from their retailer only to find out that somebody's swiped the code from that and taken the digital content... we were going to be driving retailers nuts. We ultimately realized that wasn't the best way to get customers the content they want.Our goal right now is to be primarily a subscription-driven model, at least in the short run, but we will definitely be having separate digital objects for purchase. How, exactly, those are going to work for subscribers versus non-subscribers is still being worked on.</blockquote>
