You just neatly sidestepped Worldwalker's point.
Exactly. If I was interested in buying paperback books or still had the room for them I wouldn't have gotten an ereader in the first place.
Hopefully, soon the prices of ebooks will come down & they will drop the idiot drm & gr for other countries, if not, there is a lot of books out there that are priced where I will pay.
Eventually the publishers will learn the same hard lessons that the music industry learned the hard way. People will get what they want one way or another, however by then some will be so used to getting their books the other way, they probably won't want to go back.
