Every ebook offered both ways. If you know you want the permanent version, you pay for that. If you're not sure, you pay the extra dollar for the throwaway first, and you're out a dollar if you guessed wrong.

This, of course, is the Elf's Fantasy Land version of commerce, in which publishers try to meet actual customer desires in a way that allows them to make a profit, instead of the real-world version where publishers decide what they want to sell, and then try to convince the customers to pay for that.

so much about the natural wearing out.
ALL PAPER BOOKS WEAR OUT AFTER 26 USES. HARPER COLLINS TOLD ME SO, AND HARPER COLLINS WOULDN'T LIE.

Do not attempt to obfuscate the issues with your silly earth logic.
