This hit me long long ago when the kindle first came out. At the time (haven't looked since), eBooks were the same price as paper back books, but with a paper back book you OWN it. You can GIVE it to a friend. You can SELL it. Heck, if it gets really cold you can even burn it. With an eBook you can read it, and thats about it.
- FalconSensei 4y agoIt's usually cheaper, and they often have sales were you get it for 10%~20% of the paperback price. Also, for fiction, it's an advantage too because many times there's only a hardback + ebook release. Since hardbacks are the more expensive and less convenient/easy version to read - heavier, get's damaged more easily - you can just get the ebook for maybe half the price of paperback
- The-Bus 4y agoI understand the point you are trying to make but a hardcover book is definitely can take more damage than an ereader.
