I just today received a brand new copy of a book from BookDepository that I'd recently read in, um, unofficial ebook form (seeing as there is no officially released ebook) and loved, so I hunted it down in paper.
I took a look at it, all happy and excited, and... well, if I want to read the book again, I'm afraid it's back to that very unofficial, not-well-formatted (but readable) ebook copy, because there is no way I'll be able to actually read this paperback with the tiny print and non-existent margins, which make it all but impossible to even see the words nearest the inner margins. Plus there's been a lot of ink smearing so quite a few pages are rather grey in tone. :-/
I'm still buying paper books, but honestly, with mass market paperbacks it's really if it's the only option available, if there is no legal ebook, because I find them physically very hard to read.
