1.  The mono box set is being re-pressed to meet demand.  The price is 
still high, but so is the stereo set (mono is higher, though, and has 
fewer albums).  I'm buying it, but I'm a completist.

2.  The reason the Beatles didn't go with digital downloads for all 
these years is because digital has generally meant "iTunes," and for 
years Apple Corps and Apple Inc. have been battling each other in 
court.  Even much of the solo material was withheld from iTunes while 
the battle raged on - for a long time, the only Paul McCartney material 
on iTunes was his guest appearances with Brian Wilson or on compilation 
albums.  The recent settlement paved the way for digital downloads on 
the most popular digital format.
