Well, I don't have any problem either when I own the paper version already, in fact I have the Mirrodin theme books, but I couldn't even find any other paper books anywhere, as I said. I've been in almost all the book stores in my hometown and in the capital, and in all "freak" shops where you can find merchandising and other items, but about the books, maybe a very old, forgotten one and stop counting.
I know I can find many in Amazon, but as much as I support the writters and I try to avoid "the dark side" as much as I can, I really hate buying paper books in foreign languages (even if they're in English, which I can read as it was my own), specially if I have to get them by mail and paying EXTRA shipping...
What I don't unerstand is, being MTG so "modern" as to have an online real game and many virtual features, they didn't get their books known for eBooks.
But I suppose, I'll have to go to "the dark side" this time. or so it seems.
