Hardcopy vs E-reader

Okay, I just downloaded "The Starter", for my Kindle.  So why do I feel like a cheap bastard?  I keep hearing how these things are the future of publishing, and they probably are.  But did I just help kill my local book store?

....much simpler. And the way DØM's begun to do their marketing now, you can buy the hardcover as a collectible and get the eBook gratis as your reader copy.

    Love the hard copy of Sigler books.  I have read ebooks before (back in the day on a Palm) but love hard copy of books.  While I might read on a digital device someday i like have the hardcopy signed, numbered and sitting on the shelf.

    Do you always cave like that?

    Sometimes it's nice to just look at a shelf and see it sitting there.

    Though I DO think I need to pick up some form of e-reader in the near future, specifially one that has a comic book viewer installed (just can't bring myself to buy an iPad right now just for THAT, though).

    What if DOM charges a little more for a tree-book and get a free e-book copy with it. would that interest anyone? I think podio-books and audio-books are safe for now. but I think we're witnessing the beginning of the tree-book decline.  In The Crypt we found out that tree-books are going to be very rare and only used for special situations. But I'll always buy both when I can. I love the feel and smell of books, especially leather. best smell in the world!

    I would have shelled out a couple of extra bucks for the e-book. I want the fans to have the option and Scott to get his dues.

    Besides, it was his idea. Not something that was forced on him.
