i'll pay more for a brand-new ebook if i just can't wait - not more than the hardcover version (god, no!) but more than it will settle to in 3 months or so. i won't buy the hardcover versions of most books in any circumstance because they're big and bulky and i have no space at all. i'll buy books i really love in hardcore later, but the only hardcover i bought before i had read the book was the latest spenser novel, which i actually pre-ordered at a discount and just couldn't wait for. that's only happened once in the last several years, but i have paid around $12.99 for a charlaine harris and a jim butcher and a few others that were brand new and i was dying to read 'em.
