So you want your ebooks to work exactly the way paper books do
AND receive the added functionality (ability to make backups, and carry thousands of them in your pocket) and you want to pay less because it doesn’t cost as much to produce, ship, store and distribute them?
Oh wait, you didn’t say you want to pay less, but you did say you want to receive it, and the added functionality there is you can receive it instantly and without having to drive down to the B&M. So take your choice, do you want ebooks or do you want pbooks. There are tradeoffs both ways.
