EDIT: Or do you mean recently released ebooks (only currently available physically in hardcover) are typically more expensive than a paperback book? I guess I could agree with that, but wouldn't really understand the significance of it.  |
Ehh, I might be wrong. But when I think of paperbacks I think of the smaller, and cheaper, mass-market paperbacks that the publishers seem to be phasing out. Yes ebooks tend to be cheaper than, or the same price as, the larger format trade paperbacks, but those will never be "paperbacks" as I think of them.
I admit, it's been a while since I've checked ebook versus paperback prices, my memory may not be accurate.
