Its not the price of the ebook readers that I think is a joke its the fact the ebooks cost the same or more than the paperback version. Until this is rectified I will always get the paper version as I am getting more value for money.

That's why I am quite surprised that people are buying ebooks than regular books. I.e. surprised by Amazon's announcement.

People are buying the ebook rather than the hardback edition. Which says to me that people want the book asap but don't want to lug the tomb that is a hardback or pay the extra for the health benefits that entails.

I've always wondered just how many copies of hardbacks they actually sell. Always assumed it was a fraction of what the paperback sold.

Yeah, I think Funkstar's hit on the answer there.

Couldn't believe it when I saw the title, thinking it meant paperbacks, but since it's hardbacks I'm hardly surprised. Looking at my bookshelf right now, there isn't a single hardback there.

40% of my 300+ books are hardback :P I prefer them lol
