The device isn't what allows me to back up copies that will last forever. The device isn't what allows me to edit an ebook and change the formatting in whatever manner I see fit.

The device is a sunken cost. I can't unbuy it. So given that I have a device that I already own: I'm willing to pay the same or a little bit more for the ebook than the pbook, because I don't want the pbook. At. All. The ebook is my preference which makes it inherently more valuable to me. I don't care what something I don't want costs compared to something that I do.
I feel the same.

I have no interest in buying pbooks and I don't care if there is a price difference between a pbook and an ebook. If Kobo has the books I want, I buy them. If they don't, I add them to a list and check again later.
