I have a novel suggestion- if a writer publishes a very bad book, he should be required to pay the reader.....

At least in the states, if you own a book you are entitled to a digital copy, I do not see why it would matter if you digitized or if you downloaded it. Publishers are treating their best customers like crooks. Prices still need to come down.

Wanted to re-read Stanislaw Lem's The Invincible. Still have my paperback, but no ebook available. Much easier for me to read ebooks these days, so yes I will be obtaining or creating my own copy of this book.

I do not see the publishers getting it together. What I see happening is an initiative from google. They are digitizing alot of books, and could make out of print titles available in ebook format.
