Yes it is a different situation. For a hardcover edition, additional work has been done, at least by the printer/publisher; there is no additional work done for another e-book format. So why should I have to pay for an e-book in another format?
I don't want to sound harsh, but in both cases, the author should only get paid once for each
story I buy from him, be it in paperback format or hardcover format or Mobipocket format or MS-reader format or... It is a bit strange that the author gets paid three times for the
story if I buy the paperback
and the hardcover
and the Mobipocket edition.
