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.
The tradeoffs with pbooks are real-world limitations. The tradeoffs with ebooks are artificial constraints. It is wrong to pretend they're equivalent.
