Well, the thing about pbooks is that they can be found by people who didn't know they looking for them. When I was a kid, lo these many years ago in the 50s, I discovered a treasure trove of books in the attic of an old barn my youngest uncle had built when HE was a teenager during WWII. These books had been owned by him & his older brothers - Horatio Alger, Hardy Boys, Tom Swift, Do & Dare, Brave & Bold, X Bar X Boys, Bobbsey Twins, Tarzan. And among those books were The White Company, Ivanhoe & many others.
Now, how would a kid find these if they were ebooks? I have books in my library that I have forgotten about, until I run across them & remember that I kept them to be discovered by my kids - which has happened.
