Actually, with an eBook you pay for the words of that specific book to show up on your screen. (I notice you say "the words of the physical book," which implies that you do think the dead trees are the good, not the words printed on them

Despite the downvotes, I actually think this comment is quite a useful viewpoint. Posting something like this is a risky thing to do, and I'd be curious to know either in this situation down the road or other similar ones whether this gamb
