[QUOTE=pdurrant;2497563]I won't buy an ebook at the same or higher price as the (new) print edition. But I won't buy the print edition in that case either, I just pass on the book completely. QUOTE]
This. I can't possibly read all the books I want to the way it is - more keep coming out! I won't even buy an ebook that is a higher price than the paperback edition. The thing that really gets me is when an author's backlist is released at prices higher than or at the same price as paperbacks. Especially the really old ones, that I can pick up used for 25 cents. Or are on the shelf at the library.
It feels strange to read a pbook (and my husband always remarks on it, if he sees it), but I won't hesitate in the above circumstances.
