Mmmm lecturer ... never seen myself as one of those ... just a person with strong well balanced views based on logic not bias .... unlike some.

My wife does fine with the Kindle App on her tablet, she however prefers to read a physical book, so would my mum if it was large print.

As usual, I don't think you really read properly what I wrote ... seems to be a disease these days. There are factors you have clearly not taken into consideration, and you just have tunnel vision about me arguing about fairer ebook prices.

In simple terms, in the past one physical book was bought and shared (sometimes amongst many). Now, that physical book is still bought by my wife, but my mum (because of her eyesight) and others for whatever reason buy additional copies as ebooks.

Pretty clear who is benefiting financially from that scenario, and reaping a much larger reward these days ... it is self evident. I am not saying that needs to change, only that ebooks should be a fairer price, and the facts support me. Everyone still gains a benefit from the new digital regime ... end of story.

You are entitled to your view, just as I am to mine.

I refuse to continue arguing with those who have a clear obvious bias, not based on facts. My facts are cost based, not preference based, and some here seem to be unable to tell the difference ... wonder why. Many publishers do the right thing, but a good number don't ... may they rot in a Hell for their greed and lack of care etc.

P.S. As I stated earlier, large print books are often hard to come by in most cases.
