I'm a big fan of eBooks, and want to stop buying paper ones soon. But right now it's all a bit hard since so many pbooks aren't available for purchase. I suspect that by the time they are available I will have either scanned the copies I have or found them on the darknet. But for new books, I can't imagine why an author would not also release an electronic version with the paper version, or even before the paper version. I like to think the authors I read are smart people, but when they sell the digital rights to a publisher who has no intention of using them I do wonder.
