I often do pay more for an ebook than its treebook version in paperback or hardback. And it riles the heck out of me because it's unjustified. Thing is, though, that -- after nearly six decades as a bookworm -- since I started using a reader eighteen months ago, I can't abide a treebook. My prediction is that paper books simply won't catch on. Another, more up-to-date prediction is that publishers and retailers will get their acts together as ebook reading becomes even more popular and they realise that it's a buyer's market. Cheers. Neil
