The vast majority of paper books are read by more than one person. I own quite a few books that were purchased when my grandfather was a very young man.

Most of Ebooks we are talking here about are protected by DRM and that means that my rights are severely limited.
but as i've said earlier that has to take personal preferences into account.

With a DRM Ebook Epub I can share with my family and we can all read at the same time, you cant with a HB!

My Ebook is backed up so I can never lose it, it cant get damaged. not possible with a HB.

its about whats important to the individual.

For you HB represents better value for me its ebook even with DRM.
