I've never regularly bought hardcover since I dropped out of the SF book club back at least 25 years ago. Too expensive and takes up too much room. The publishers should be happy that I've switched to ebooks. I'd guess at least 80% of my paperback purchases were used, and of course, none of my ebook purchases are used. I would never buy a hardcover just to get a free ebook. I have cut down my paper purchases to almost nothing since I started buying ebooks, and I'm not buying ebooks unless I can get them for about the price of a MMPB.
