buy the cheaper pbook, and make the ebook myself? Unlike the other way round, there are no additional material costs like there were when making an own print of an e-edition. |
This assumes you are someone who
can do that. But even if you are, what value do you place on your
time?
I could create my own ebook from a paper copy, but doing it properly takes time and effort. Assuming the publisher's ebooks are created to decent levels of quality, I'd consider it worth my while to spend the extra couple of bucks over the PB price for the electronic edition. If I'm going to go through the effort of creating an ebook from a paper copy, I'll do it for a paper book that doesn't
have an available electronic version.
