When ebooks first became popular with the Kindle they did seem much less expensive compared to their print and hardcover counterparts, and I scarfed them up, building a library of necessary--to me--must have books. In the last couple of years my buying has dried up because of rising ebook costs from major publishers. Nowadays I'm getting my ebooks via Overdrive for the most part. But if you consider the cost of large print books, there is no comparison, ebooks are always less expensive and you control the font size, can tweak it as you wish. Also ebooks are pretty much forever, if you keep them backed up.
