But (like HarryT) you still keep avoiding the question:
Which has better value?
A) Pay $20, use it, throw it away.
B) Pay $20, use it, get some money for it.
If you walked into a store and they offered you 2 options:
1) Pay $20, get an eBook that you can read once and then throw away.
2) Pay $20, get a pBook that you read once, but if you bring it back, they will give you $10 store credit for it.
Which option would most people choose?
The answer is obviously 2.
So why should we buy eBooks when pBooks continue to give us better value?
Until eBooks offer better value, they will never gain acceptance, and DRM does nothing but offer less in the way of value.
