That's the difference between us, Jon. I don't consider a $10 novel as an "investment"; I consider it as $10 worth of reading enjoyment - on a par, say, with a $10 takeaway pizza. If I want another pizza next year, I spend another $10. If I can read my book again next year without paying for it again, that's great, but I don't buy an eBook thinking "this is a lifetime investment"; I buy it for the pleasure of reading it once.
Most of the eBooks I buy are in the $5-7 range. Contrast that to nicely produced hardbacks which I'm happy to pay $50+ for (eg my 3-volume illustrated hardback edition of LOTR which I paid £75 - $150 - for). Those I
do regard as a lifetime investment.
