Stupid publishers.

I very very rarely buy hardcovers. I bought the Harry Potter books in hardcover, have bought some bargain books in hardcover, and then a handful more when I wanted a good shelf copy (LOTR being the main example). They are just too expensive.

Now that I have my Reader, the ebook prices of the hardcovers are much more affordable, so I don't have to wait. I've bought dozens of books in ebook "hardcover" that I would have waited to buy in paperback.

So they are actually making more money off me. Idiots.
