Does an ebook sale to you represent a lost print sale?
Yes, but not a loss of sales...
Look, I just bought 14 e-books out of pure impulse... thanks to e-books these publishers are selling me more material to read than if they had to wait for me to finish a book and then go to the local bookstore to get the next one.
What makes it easier on the purchase is that now I can carry around several books without a worry in the world about the space and weight in my notebook backpack or where to store them afterwards...
I just hope they make the necessary adjustments to avoid over printing books... The whole idea is for them to maximize profits by avoiding the cost of printing (with the side effect used for marketing of a greener approach).
