Then lets go back to my #74 post.
The choice for not buying an ebook not based on principal isn't on the poll. Again, the example of someone not buying a paper edition because they lack space but are also unwilling to buy the ebook because it cost more than the paper edition.
So they aren't buying a book based on principal, it's because they don't have room for the cheaper paper edition. Yet they determine the value of the ebook by making a price comparison of the ebook against the paper edition.
In a way it is about the format because this type of buyer is only considering ebooks, but the way they put a value to ebooks is by comparison to paper back version. So does this still fall into choice #2 on the poll or should such an individual not be voting in this poll? (Basically this person with be buying the paper edition of they had room for it). So maybe choice 1 or other? /shrug
