This would be me. I rarely bought hardcovers, only if the book wasn't available as a paperback, after waiting long enough to find out. Now, I rarely buy any book, except if it's something I need right away and an ebook isn't available. Then I always write the publishers to ask if and when it will be available in a
widely accepted ebook format, strongly suggesting, urging them to get with the program!
