For me, the added value of an ebook was paid for when I purchased an ebook reader.

While I prefer reading an ebook over paper, I refuse to spend more on a product that may have a limited life (due to changing formats/drm/technologies), that I cannot freely pass along/resell/donate and costs less to create/distribute.

I have a few books in my Amazon wishlist that I won't buy because the ebook is the same as paper. Just priniciple. Unless the ebook price drops, chances are that I will either 1) buy it on the used market 2) buy it when paper goes bargain priced or 3) never get around to buying it at all.

So the recent dispute won't change my purchasing behavior but perhaps make others more aware.
