Please explain how it costs to add drm to a file for each download? And besides, it's a CHOICE to DRM your files. It's not a CHOICE to pay for publication in paperback/hardback. The cost is so nominal that it's not even a competition in price.
But to answer the question about paying more if I got something for it, yes, I would gladly pay $35 for a hardcover if I got the E-Book free. I would not pay more for a paperback, but then again I've never stated that you should get a free ebook if you have the paperback.
Either way, one of the reasons I do read e-books is because of the Darknet. I've discovered new authors that I would NEVER have bought in the stores without reading first. And since reading some great books by authors that I wouldn't have bought first, I now buy those books, there are two sides to every coin. I know I'm not going to stop using it.
