I am not ever going to pay more than the PB price for an ebook. It raises my hackles when I see an ebook costing more than the pb.

Since I have rarely purchased hardcovers and I wait for the PB, I don't see it as an advantage to spend $9-$10 for a recently released book in e-format. I feel like I'm spending more than usual.

I'm also concerned about just what I'm getting when I buy an ebook. I have PB and some hardcovers in my bookshelf that are 25+ years old and are still very readable. Will I be able to say that about my ebooks in 5 years? Will technology make my mobi format books obsolete requiring that I buy them again for another device? I don't have to do that for my paper books.

I plan on concentrating on ebooks that cost $5 or less. It will have to be a big "want" to spend $9 for an ebook.

I haven't read the fine print on Amazon. Have they promised that once I buy a book and I can always read it without another re-purchase? I kinda doubt it.
