I personally won't buy an ebook unless it costs at least a pound less than its physical copy. Otherwise who are they kidding?

I was looking for a ebook on Amazon recently to download to my kindle. It was being charged at 4.98. Just below it on the amazon book page, the very same book was available in physical form, from a bookwarehouse for 0.1p + 2.80 postage.

So for 2pds less than the electronic version I get a physical book with colour illustrations (and no DRM). No contest really.
