- RandomBacon 2y agoI never known a book still in copyright to be cheaper as an eBook than a used, "Like New" or "Very Good" paperback copy from eBay (with free shipping).
- criddell 2y agoSo the music analogy would be if you could buy an album still in copyright as MP3s cheaper than a used record from eBay?
- RandomBacon 2y agoThat sounds like the opposite, so no?
- nukem222 2y agoI read ebooks, but it's not very difficult to determine why people like purpose-crafted goods. Especially when you pay about the same amount for an ebook. Vinyl at least has great arguments why digital copies are straight-up better. Ebooks still have a long way to go to get to that point. I will however argue that textbooks are straight-up better in the apple books thing. Graphics and footnotes handle like crap in comparison on the kindle. I don't know why as it doesn't appear to be a technical limitation—maybe it's a format thing? Regardless, You'd get like 95% of the benefit with a pdf, though.
