I feel almost guilty admitting it, but these behaviour seems completely natural to me. Paper books, music on CDs. Seems to me much more rational to buy something like this, than buying (heck, it's not even buying, it's more like renting by some weird license!) array of bytes, that can be deleted by some Apple or Amazon from your device, and doing so for nearly the same money as if you buy real book or CD! It's not japanese who are crazy, it's more like western people are totally irrational and insane!
And, well, I'm a bit missing these times when you could exchange CDs with your friends and all that kind of stuff. But dismiss it. However ability to not have CD-ROM in your notebook is major bonus. And size of portable music players as well.
I wonder if paper books are as expensive in Japan as in the western countries.
