  They are not “generally cheaper” (ebooks are usually about 30-50% cheaper), and much less convenient if you travel a lot.

    typically on amazon you can find cheaper physical books via alternative sellers like bookdepository

      Not if you are not living in the US. For a European who wants to read English books, Kindle Store is a blessing.

        I'm in UK and prefer buying a book for 1p and pay £2 shipping than £11 pound for an ebook that i wont' even own, merely licence
