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.

Lmao...what book cost $5000. Anyone asking $5000 for a book can keep it.
I agree with Sarmat. If you want a copy of the book...buy a hardcopy. Eventually one will lose all his ebooks, even if they are in a device somewhere. May take years and years. I personally only read most books once. The ones i would consider reading twice or maybe a beloved series, I will buy paper. The hassle of maintaining an electronic library of books is a waste of time imo. Especially if one has thousands of books. They will never, ever reread them all. The time, worry and money to maintain an electronic library one most likely will never re- read is a bit silly imo.
