^ again, I will concede physical presence. How do flexibility, durability, and obsolescence apply to Collectors Editions?
both ebooks and pbooks have there pros and cons. In either case version I get the same story, the fact that ebooks can be made and distributed cheaper, well good for the publishers. If they choose to pass the savings along to us, great, if not, I honestly don't care.
Sure in cases where the ebook is more than the pbook, that seems nuts and I don't get it. But like I said before, I won't lose any sleep over it and if I decide I really want it, I'll pay.
Honestly not having to go to the bookstore, not having to deal with the physicals size of the book (I can only imagine how large my current read, World without End, is in pbook), and being able to adjust font sizes, have a built in dictionary available, etc, is worth the premium - in the cases where there is a premium - even if from a purely objective point of view it doesn't make sense that you pay a premium on an ebook.
