If I cant get his books in digital format he will still lose a sale because I am not buying new books on paper. I have just plain run out of physical space and dont need more books clutering up my house. As for losing money on ebook sales that is nuts. Once a book has been formated there is no more major additional cost to the publisher to produce it for sale, other than maybe a transaction fee and web site suport, which would be spread over many books and other departments most likely. There is no storage ,printing, shipping, stocking, damged books or what have you. The customer pushes a button and the book is downloaded. The author gets the same cut he is entitled to by his royalty contract for books sold. Selling ebooks seems to me to be a better alturnative than selling no books.
