Funnily enough I'm just getting into ebooks, partially because they're cheaper than their paper counterparts. I know there's some intentional inflation of the price, like when Back Story only went down to a reasonable ~$9 after being $20 because only the hardcover was out. I like having a ton of books on one small device instead of lugging around, say, the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - which I have in paperback. Though now I wonder if it'd be cheaper to get these things on ebay.
