I looked at Amazon and the Kindle prices were almost always a bit more than the paperback price. I don't see why this is so (given that books are supposedly more expensive to produce, etc). I can share physical books, give them away when I'm done or have a yard sale with my library. What's the resale market like for ebooks ? I can have multiple books spread in multiple rooms / places or even compare two side by side. If I forget a book while visiting my parent's it's no biggie. If I forget my Kindle I can't read anything else until I get it back. The big advantage of ebooks is that they weigh nothing, so moving my entire collection to a different city doesn't involve the movers. Also, I don't have to wait for some rare book to physically get to my bookstore, I can just download it (although retailers might still try to limit this artificially with something like DVD regions, etc). So I don't see ebooks entirely replacing my books any time soon.
