I think I'd be the same as pdurrant, if they were both the same price, I wouldn't buy either version. I expect the price of the ebook to be slightly cheaper than it's paper equivalent. So if a new hardback is £12, I'd expect the ebook to be £10-11. If the new papberback was £9, again I'd expect the ebook to be a £1 or so cheaper. As you can't lend it, or resell it, why would it be the same price, it's simply not worth the same.

I tend to not want to pay more than £5 or £6 for an ebook, and on the occasions when there's not much of a price difference between the ebook and the paperback, to be perfectly honest, that just puts me off buying it.
