There's "entitlement" and then there's disappointment that there's no way possible to procure something that you want. I just acknowledge the disappointment and then move on. So I don't get to read it. Clearly the publisher or author doesn't have increased exposure on their radar. Makes no difference to my life.
With regard to the original question of "Why Ebooks?":
I'm just happy that there are digital resources at my public library! While I do have a modest Kindle balance, I cannot afford to rent purchase every book that crosses my mind to read, and it's a pleasure to be able to borrow materials that I don't have to remember to return.
My brother in law recently published a book and we have a print copy. I'm still buying the Kindle copy because I prefer to read it on my device.
