The thing is, I spent $18 (roughly) on HP7 because Rowling said defiantly no ebook editions. To then expect us to go out and purchase the books after the fact is hypocrisy at it's best. If they had put out the ebook at the same time, I would have been able to make my choice then and get the version I wanted most. Now in order to get a legal ebook copy, I have to shell out even more money. That's just as bad as record companies releasing enhanced CDs after I've already purchased the unenhanced CD. It's just sleazy business practices to expect consumers to pay a second time for something they paid for in the first place. And given the info we had available, we didn;t have the choice to wait as it was said there was never going to be a legal electronic version released.
