Accepting that an e-book is something completely different and can be read only under special circumstances (e.g. the moon just right) - okay. But dont get your hopes up. I wouldnot pay much for this kind of book.
Lemme see ... my library charges me 18€ per year to rent unlimited books. I would go as far as paying 50€ - because it wouldnt be any different.
Renting a DVD costs as few as 0,50€ - while buying that same DVD costs between 9 and 30 € ... A book costs 9€ ... calculate it.
Now to get real:
There really isnt a difference between an e-book and a p-book. Really. There isnt. Just as there is no real difference between a list of MP3s and a CD.
