And I've also rarely connected a book's value to its container. There are a few ebooks that I've paid the hardcover price just because I knew that the book would be great and I didn't want to wait to get the hardcover.
Yes, I would love to pay a lower price for ebooks just as one pays less for a paperback than for a hardcover. My justification for paying higher prices is that if I really want to save money then I can wait until the price comes down or hope the library gets a copy. It's actually easier for me to justify purchasing ebooks since they require no physical space to store.
I have so many legitimately acquired ebooks in my reading queue that the Darknet holds little attraction for me.
