In my pre-liseuse days, I'd periodically have a pbook buying binge, but was always constrained by a lack of space for my books. For that reason, as well as the cost, I very, very rarely bought hardbacks. Now, publishers are getting a *LOT* more money from me as I'm buying a minimum of three ebooks a month, as well as various free downloads. If I've cannibalized anything, it's the paperback purchases and library loans I'm no longer making. On the other hand, I'm now making more purchases of old 2nd-hand paperbacks, but solely with the intention of making ebooks out of them. On balance, my reading habits have been transformed and I'm able to spend more money on newer titles than before.
