^ most of that I can buy and understand. I was really only trying to understand your point that I quoted above, where you say you don't want to pay for something you don't receive from a digital copy - flexibility, durability, physical presence and obsolescence.
I'm just saying that I doubt those items contribute to the price of a pbook.
If you personally feel that because an ebook does not meet those criteria, you won't pay the same price for an ebook, that is, of course your, choice to make. But, if those criteria do not contribute to the price of a pbook, is it realistic to expect an ebook to be less based on not meeting said criteria? I don't think so.
I do feel you are right about ebooks costing less to 'make' and distribute and should be priced less based on this. Hopefully some day this will always be the case. In the meantime if I have to, I will pay an extra couple of dollars to get the ebook.
