Still I buy them up like hotcakes.  It's because modern HQ titles are just so formulated and uncreative most of the time. |
I read a lot of history and science books and many of them have been out of print for two or more decades. That generally means the eBook is OCRed and often in Topaz. Nevertheless they usually cost more than $10 because they expect to sell far fewer than say a non-fiction novel. The OCR errors are typically numerous and show that no proofreading was even attempted. I doubt the publisher would get away with that for a new print edition. It is almost as if the publishers are saying that people who read eBooks don't deserve the same quality as people who read print books.
