Instant gratification? Desire to read it in a convenient form say, for traveling (e.g. not a hardback book)? Enough disposable income that the extra ten bucks doesn't make a difference? Or maybe someone who just doesn't want any more of their home space taken up with dead tree books?
As for the price difference, here in the UK the hardback sells from Amazon for roughly the equivalent of $23, so paying $26 is no big deal even if you
don't fall into the above categories.
Anyway, thanks for the heads-up; I'm a big Gibson fan, and didn't realise he had a new one out
