I know this is a minority opinion, but once reading electronically became my first choice--that is, I no longer would choose a paperback or hardcover tree book when an eBook was available--the value of the digi content goes up for me. I understand that the financial cost to the publisher is less, but it then becomes a commodity like many others, one in which the cost to produce the product hasn't got a whole lot to do with the sale price. The missing piece is that the quality of the books is often not there in terms of how they display.
