Less. Geo-restrictions limit the ebooks I can buy and recently the dollar has become more expensive (I live in europe) and made the ebooks that I can buy more expensive than paper books. Add that a lot of ebook stores (mobi and amazon for example) are charging 20% tax for international customers, this drives the price up to usually 10 dollars a book or more, which is 7.7 euro per book.(currently, will probably increase) A paper book is usually 7.10 euro (but may become more expensive as a result of dollar increase). I like ebooks, the convenience, the lightweight ereader, but I won't pay much more than I would for a paper book.
