Or I bite the bullet and buy the huge hardcovers that are impractical to read and carry. For a premium.

yes, actually i feel the same way for almost all books, especially since a lot of my reading is done in bed and in the métro. hardcover books are almost always too large and heavy to carry in my bag for the 30 minute ride in the métro, and they are often rather cumbersome and uncomfortable to hold in bed as well. there are rare cases where i can imagine preferring a hard cover, but as i say, they are rare.
and it *is* really annoying to always have to wait a year when there is a book i want to read... that's another one of the things that interests me with ebooks, really.
