i got an amazon gift card and bought a bunch of ebooks. i also bought a massive stack of paperbacks.
both have a place in my life and both fill a different need. even disregarding the fact that we're merely renting from the publishers i will never be able to fully commit to not having a physical, tangible item for my $$$.
i agree in that things like region restrictions are a dinosaur that needs to be put down once and for all. its utterly ridiculous that there are innumerable books that we will never see in our respective countries due to arbitrary lines on a map.
