In general, I Wouldn't mind paying the SAME price for a PB or Ebook, it when the Ebook is MORE that I have problems/issues.

Obviously I would prefer to pay less for the Ebook for all the reasons previously mentioned, but I feel it will be a while before that happens.

I am about to buy a book released today (Tom Holt - May Contain Traces of Magic, assuming the Ebook version is available. It isn't currently but the HB is still listed as pre-order so hopefully wil be put up later) which I will only be able to get from Waterstones as the book will not be vailable elsewhere outside of the UK. It is instances like this that I have no choice but to use Waterstones!

If the Ebook is more expensive (due to the 30% discount on the phusical and likely 20% is the digital) I will attempt to phone somebody (I am sick of E-mails and letters to HQ). If the Ebook IS cheaper then I will suck up the still overpriced value and buy the book!

EDIT: Just been back online to see if the book was available and realised that I had misread the release date. It is next month, not this month.... Still, gives me time to read some other books!
