Cheap?
One of the ebooks on my wishlist is US$5,000. (Five thousand dollars, United States Currency.)
I don't remember how much the hardcopy is, but it isn't available through my local library as an interlibrary loan.
I've bought ebooks where the MSRP for the ebook was double the MSRP of the hardcopy. (IOW, the trade paperback is US$50, and the PDF is US$100.)
I'm paying for the convenience of having the book with me.
