I only bought the paper version because, not being in the USA, I couldnt buy an e version. I think there are books I just won't read in future if I can't get an e copy. There are so many books available that some authors and publishers are going to miss out on my money, regardless of the quality of their books, if they won't sell me an e version for my HanLin.

i had that experience about a month after i started reading ebooks. now, recently, i've had a book i didn't even manage to finish at all, because physically it was so uncomfortable, despite that i really did want to read it ! i still plan to keep many of my paper books forever but i'm trying not to buy any more and i start to wonder whether i'm only keeping them out of nostalgia... maybe i won't ever read them at all now !
