Realistically, how many of your paperback books do you keep for >10 years? I know that with me, I either lose them, or throw them out, or they just fall to pieces if I read them a lot. It's an analogy I've used before, but I'll say it again: a typical eBook costs roughly the same as a takeaway pizza and I regard it like one - I buy the book to enjoy "now"; I don't regard it as a "lifetime investment" any more than I do the pizza. Am I upset that I can only eat the pizza once? No, I'm not.
