I assumed that the reason was self evident. evidently not.
The arguments that such characteristics of eBooks is 'added value' does not stack up imho. Firstly I have to buy a device just to read them costing a substantial amount. Secondly I cannot share them with my wife or son. Thirdly I don't have the same security of ownership after seeing how Amazon reached out not so long ago and erased books directly from people's readers. Fourthly I as a reader resent the Publisher pocketing substantially higher profits for substantially less costs, all at my expense. So no I don't see it as added value at all.
