I thought of a netbook or e-reader or something of the like in regards to the 'white book' too. I interpret this as another song about disposable culture and disposable music. I like the beat and the vocals, but then I like pop music in general - or, I should say, I don't automatically dislike pop music. Just because something falls under the remit of pop doesn't make it inherently cheap and meaningless. It's just the corporate-backed prancing models who give the genre a bad name. This song seems to have a similar idea to it, that the creative minds in pop are shunted out by Simon Cowell types who reduce ideas down to their lowest common denominator components and stick them on a pretty face, the copies thus outselling the innovators.
