I just spent £15.99 on buying a non-fiction book that I really wanted to read. Fortunately for me, I was able to buy it in eformat. The hardback version would have been slightly cheaper because of tax. If it had been available only in dtformat, I wouldn't have bought it.
I find ebooks so much more convenient to read in so many ways that I have stopped buying dtbooks. I still own and like some dtbooks, despite having given away some thousands since I got my Kindle. However, I realise that if I have the same book in both formats, I am much more likely to read the e-version. The portability and instant access are very important. And since I travel a lot, I am used to being somewhere where I don't have access to the book I fancy reading at this moment.
