I chose the third answer, but I think I really wanted a fourth answer... Yes, it is a lost ebook sale unless I really wanted the book.
There are some books I am glad I have in paper form... some books are not just great to read, they are nice decorations (I think a book shelf about half filled with hard backs, and then the balanced of the shelf space covered with photos and other nick nacks is a great accent to a room). I can think of a few series where I have been tempted to buy the books in hard back form even after the cheaper paperbacks are available. For example, there is a part of me that has to resist buying the entire Aubery-Maturin series in Hardback.. just because I think they would look so cool sitting on the shelf together.
That being said, I got the ebook reader to be a space saver. I am trying to reduce the clutter in my life and few things clutter up a room as much as hundreds of books.
