You cannot do this with ebooks so therefore we should bin all the ebook readers and get back to print. The fact that a lot of ebooks are the same price or more expensive than the printed copy only makes this argument more vaid

Comments please!!
I wouldn't pay £3 for a second hand book unless it was coming through the post, or it was something I knew I could sell on Ebay for a profit.
