Indeed, e-books both add and subtract value. Publishers extol the added value to justify an increased price but remain mum on the subtracted value that merits a decreased price.


Edit: I just realized that the conveniences tompe lists are an added value that you've already purchased when you bought your e-reader. The publisher sells words. It's the device manufacter that sells you the conveniences of manipulating those words. There is value there, and you've already paid for it.
