That one is easy:
- because I want to have good quality books
- because I want the author/publicist to be able to live and put out more books
- because it's easy to buy from reputable e-book-stores
- because I am against pirated/illegal books on principle
Or all in all: "Loyalty towards the authors and bookstores" (and that means I only buy from e-bookstores that I feel are treating me fairly)
And also I am happy to buy ebooks because it is easy to remove DRM from the books I buy, I always do that so I can store them safely and use them in the future too (I've had harddisks break and computers crash so many times, I am not willing to tie my books to specific devices).
