I will say, given patience, ebooks are cheaper than paper books. It is common to find ebooks priced at $2.99 or less. Granted, The Once And Future King may not be $2.99 'on demand', but if you watch for a sale, it will be. At least, that's been my experience.


When I first saw Once and Future was out as ebook, I promptly requested my library get it, and they did! So I was first in line and really enjoyed the re-read. Now I can hopefully hold out for a price drop.

Most of my ebook reading is through my library, some thru public domain books, and here and there, a purchase. Patience definitely helps there! That, and I also am willing to roll my own where no ebook is available and not likely to be.
