Amazon is quite clever. *NM* Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 03/09/2009 11:25:35 PM
It depends on their various licensing agreements, and it doesn't seem to be very widespread yet, but they definitely offer the kindle version of certain books at no or significantly reduced cost when you buy the print version.

Let's Discuss: Ebooks Bryce - 03/09/2009 06:19:42 PM 1603 Views
I don't think I could ever use Ebooks. Spriteling - 03/09/2009 06:51:47 PM 1008 Views
It's not necessarily one or the other. Ghavrel - 03/09/2009 07:32:56 PM 1051 Views
This is so. Spriteling - 03/09/2009 07:53:41 PM 1137 Views
You probably will be able to soon. Ghavrel - 03/09/2009 07:58:52 PM 946 Views
You can with some of the more expensive models. Aemon - 03/09/2009 11:19:01 PM 1134 Views
Ideally, universities will start renting out eTextbook readers, or something. *NM* Ghavrel - 03/09/2009 11:30:29 PM 542 Views
That'd be great. My school rents out standard ebook readers now, so it won't be long. *NM* Aemon - 03/09/2009 11:32:27 PM 559 Views

Regarding pricing... Ghavrel - 03/09/2009 07:40:02 PM 1133 Views
Not so Camilla - 03/09/2009 09:01:32 PM 1163 Views
That's a fairly horrible blog post. Ghavrel - 03/09/2009 11:05:22 PM 1188 Views

Now that is a clever idea. Ghavrel - 03/09/2009 11:14:07 PM 952 Views
Amazon has actually been using that idea for a while now, in a limited sense. Aemon - 03/09/2009 11:22:00 PM 981 Views
Amazon is quite clever. *NM* Ghavrel - 03/09/2009 11:25:35 PM 566 Views
Wonderful idea. Jayhawk - 04/09/2009 12:29:42 AM 1133 Views
I cannot stand them. Camilla - 03/09/2009 08:59:03 PM 1219 Views
Regarding the "Insulting" blog... Ghavrel - 03/09/2009 10:22:43 PM 1086 Views
Re: Regarding the "Insulting" blog... Camilla - 03/09/2009 10:58:18 PM 967 Views
I did, and I have decently extensive criticism of it above. Ghavrel - 03/09/2009 11:08:23 PM 981 Views
Re: " I have a very tactile and olfactory relationship with books." Tashmere - 04/09/2009 09:38:22 AM 965 Views
This. . .is quite long. I feel pretty strongly about this subject. Aemon - 03/09/2009 11:14:11 PM 1250 Views
No, it's a cool post. Ghavrel - 03/09/2009 11:29:33 PM 1074 Views
More than fair. Aemon - 03/09/2009 11:39:29 PM 997 Views
Now there's something I hadn't thought of Bryce - 04/09/2009 01:00:06 AM 1087 Views
Well, it's easier, just slightly less legal. Aemon - 04/09/2009 06:04:03 AM 1119 Views
No, it's a double post. *NM* Ghavrel - 03/09/2009 11:29:34 PM 433 Views

aw, shucks... temeraire - 04/09/2009 05:41:29 AM 1084 Views
Thank you for the education. I had a completely different idea as to what e-books were. Tashmere - 04/09/2009 09:35:11 AM 1096 Views
No problem. And thanks! Aemon - 04/09/2009 03:15:14 PM 1151 Views
A possible selling point for me was when you said it was lighter than a paperback Tashmere - 05/09/2009 12:25:18 AM 1089 Views
Yes and no. Aemon - 05/09/2009 02:49:26 AM 1314 Views

I hate ebooks and everything they represent Сталин - 04/09/2009 03:50:48 AM 962 Views
Hold on a moment now. Aemon - 04/09/2009 06:28:09 AM 1154 Views
Your logic is seriously flawed Сталин - 04/09/2009 02:28:21 PM 1398 Views
I see your sceneclips, and raise you a New York Times. Aemon - 04/09/2009 02:59:33 PM 1189 Views
You have an almost cult-like enthusiasm for e-books. Сталин - 06/09/2009 12:53:04 AM 1106 Views
Re: You have an almost cult-like enthusiasm for e-books. Aemon - 06/09/2009 05:24:48 AM 1137 Views
I know we're on a message board. That's why I'm still debating. Сталин - 06/09/2009 03:15:55 PM 1083 Views
Perhaps you mis-read the graph. PhotoJim - 04/09/2009 03:14:06 PM 1089 Views
No, I didn't mis-read the graph. Сталин - 06/09/2009 12:56:15 AM 953 Views
You must be talking percentage of the population who attend theaters? *NM* Aemon - 06/09/2009 05:26:43 AM 506 Views
Yes. Сталин - 06/09/2009 03:06:14 PM 1114 Views
