    &gt; A quarter-century ago, conventional wisdom held that ebooks, read on electronic devices, would replace books made of paper.<p>Until publishers thought “huh, we can increase our margins AND increase our prices too for ebooks?!”

      I&#x27;ve made the switch to ebooks.i haven&#x27;t yet had a problem with pricing like you suggest, but I have been a little worried about my library of purchased books might one day disappear since they all use DRM, and I don&#x27;t really own any of my books in any real sense of the word.<p>Then again, even that doesn&#x27;t worry me too much, since I almost never read a book twice anyway. I think the only book I&#x27;ve read more than once is the hitchhiker&#x27;s guide to the galaxy.<p>For now, in my experience, ebooks have always been cheaper than print versions of the same work. I suspect that if one calculated the resell value of a printed book, the prices would come out about equal. Which is why I chose eBooks for their convenience.
