I agree with you that one of the primary reasons I moved to ebooks was the lack of space and that I wanted to keep them with me at all times.

Great to have you delurk. I agree with you that one of the primary reasons I moved to ebooks was the lack of space and that I wanted to keep them with me at all times. Because you can’t resell them, they aren’t disposable at all.

Do most people who buy ebooks really expect them to be a one-time read and don't worry about maintaining their electronic archives? That is not my impression, but I really don't know any data one way or another. Oh, and since I'm delurking, I'd like to add that I really appreciate the work Dear Author does to cover ebooks and ebookreaders. Great stuff.
