On one hand I love to read eBooks since I got my Kindle, because it's so convenient and I love the possibilities to have my books with me everywhere.

On the other hand, I am sometimes feeling reluctant to pay 10$ for an electronic book, if I can get the same paper book for 11$. Of course, what is important about the book is the content, still, if you buy a paper book, you can put it on the shelf, give it so somebody else to read, or sell it on after you have read it.

So although I never really do sell books after having read them (and in the very few cases where I did sell them did not get much more than maybe 2 $ for a used book, plus having the hassle of shipping etc.), it is still my feeling that Amazon is making much more money on me (not so much of it goes to the author I fear) when I buy an ebook instead of a pbook. Weird, isn't it?

Best regards,
Andy
