I spent a long time on hold while she put the refund in, but before we hung up I had an email saying that I should see the money refunded to my credit card for the two books within 48-72 hours. She assured me that it would cover the actual prices I paid, not the lower prices currently posted on the website.

Great! I still worry about the changes that are happening, though. I may eventually end up going back to paper books, but I have been spoiled by my e-readers in being able to carry a thousand books around all the time.

I don't think I could ever go back to just having paper books to read. One thing I like to do is use the FFdownloader in Calibre to create books from my favorite Harry Potter fan fics, and being able to read a chapter or more while on the go is something I don't want to go without. Not to mention it's easier by far to store ebooks than try to collect any more paper books. And of course with ebooks you don't have to wait a week or more for them to arrive via mail or find a way to get to a brick and mortar store to purchase them either.
