How many books is this going to happen to before publishers get that a sale is still a sale, whether it's hardback, ebook or paperback?

For your money you get about 100pages of old Stephen King (the beginning), another 400 or so pages of boredom (new Stephen King) and that was about it for me. I bought it in hardback, format-shifted through file sharing, deleted not long after. Wasn't worth the £10 I paid for it, or the hassle of finding it on the filesharing networks (although I did meet a lot of very nice people in the process, so I guess it
was worth the £10 in the end
)
