I didn't buy a book reader so I could either become po-faced about 'dead trees' or to claim that the e-reader version is somehow 'better' than the print version. It almost invariably isn't. More convenient maybe, less weight definitely but 'better'? And if its cheaper to buy the print version that is generally what I would do. So through an online/catalogue book seller in the UK I can buy the whole Booker prize shortlist, mostly in hardback, for about £30. How they do it I don't know but its not bootleg. Nowhere could I get the e versions for that price. Amazon uk are selling the kindle editions for about £36 now - some months later.
So if its not available in e-book, buy the real thing. If the real thing is cheaper - buy the real thing.
