How much do you spend for eBooks?
I've spent ca. € 20.000 over the last 3 years:
500 x Kindle, 300 x nook, 180 x Kobo, 300 x Sony, 300 x PDFs, 300 x ePUBs.
Adding my hardware, that's an invest of ca. € 1.200 per month.
I think, for such an amount (many spend less for their car or house) one can expect top quality.
I know: I'm nitpicking. But, as you can see by the figures above, collecting is one of my hobbies. And I simply don't want to check every single book for flaws.
And that's just eBooks.
In addition, I could worry about 2.000 iOS apps, 1.500 Android apps, 2.000 iTunes movies and so on...
I buy all this stuff, instead of downloading illegally, exactly to not have to worry about quality...
A big tea cup, I guess...
Often, I read a book or watch a movie only years after I bought it. I can't ask for a refund then, often the companies that sold it even don't exist anymore. I simply have to rely, what I buy is of the quality to be expected...
