I hate added content to pbook versions

Okay, this just bothers me.

I saw Full Dark, No Stars on the shelf of B&N today, in Pbook format, with something that says "Bonus NEW short story".

So while it's a book of a few novellas and short stories it kind of ticked me off that I had to buy the book again to get the story, and would that story be included in any new eBook versions that are coming out. To top it off this version wasn't really much cheaper than the HC because it was in Trade Paper format (if I remember correctly)

Naturally I read it in the store so I didn't pay a dime for it, but it was a REALLY great story called "Under the Weather", quite sad.

i hate when an omnibus editions or reprints of books i already own are released in print with added content too. i'm simply not rebuying another hardcopy for a few pages of new content, let alone an ebook edition.

in a perfect world any extra content would simply be an update for current owners to download but we know that ain't gonna happen lol.
