@ApK,
You start making a competition of the difference betweeen ebooks and pbooks.
And i am not against ebooks or pbooks, i am pro-reading. And i want to be respected as a buyer, not threatet like a criminal.
I expect the same threatment as a buyer when i buy a pbook or and ebook.
Here in the Netherlands prices are about the same, but as a buyer you do not have the same rights when you buy 'a license to read, for a certain period' when you buy an ebook.
the tax-law here says : DRM makes it to rent, and that is a service and so you have to pay the high tax-level, witch is 21%. pbook are on the low-tax level = 6%.
I am reading for more then 4 years ebooks and I love it, especially on an e-ink screen with mij Kobo witch i bought this spring, after my iLiad V2 finally gets very old and slow.

When i am reading i forget from what medium i am reading and in that way for me there is no difference between these books.
