Despite your obvious attempt to champion book publishers, when they charge as much for an ebook as for a hardback book despite all the things that an ebook can't do compared to a paper book they ARE money grubbing. Sorry when they can TAKE your ebook ie delete it off your reader, you didn't BUY the book. You at BEST rented access to it. By your logic if I go out and buy an automobile that goes 1/2 as fast and gets less miles per gallon than another car, its FINE if the car seller charges the same price for both cars. They also have an option to show up at any time and take the car back without consulting you.
I am ok with the limitations of ebooks as long as the price is adjusted accordingly. The publishers are hellbent on NOT making any adjustments in the price. They want to have their cake and eat it too.
