Agreed. Perhaps I'm too old but I don't get people with MP3 only music collections. One borked hard drive and your collection's gone. Or you spend time filing and archiving. Life is too short.
Trashy novels (and I'm guilty of reading quite a few from time to time) are perhaps the exception, but I've never paid more than a quid for a disposable novel. I'd pay about the same for a similar ebook for the convenience of having it sent to my Kindle near instantly. Hard to persuade me to spend more, especially with DRM as they can't be gifted, loaned or sold.
Perhaps there is an ebook out there that I'd spend more than a quid on, but I'm certain there's no ebook I'd spend £300 on (although I have a one or two dead tree first editions worth around this).
