There are also benefits to ereaders that its difficult to put a price on : convenience, convenience, convenience. I'm about to move in a few weeks, and I thank God that I am not lugging a bunch of pbooks instead of having them on my iPad. Sensual Poet nails it:
Those who talk about the cheapness of used books never seem to count the expense of moving and storing those "bargains!"  |
Oh yeah thats the biggest incentive for an ereader, no storage worries. Its never been about price. But unfortuantely newbies think the best incentive for ebooks is a cheap price. Of course they are sticker shocked once they find out that is not the case.
Of course people who still buy physical books do not have to store them. There are plenty of used book stores that will trade with them.
