Message: <blockquote data-quote="Elodan" data-source="post: 9663394" data-attributes="member: 8006">Or do they seem to be getting ridiculous?I primarily read on a Kindle. I had some serious bouts of retinopathy in both eyes over the years so it’s generally easier to read white text on a black background. Plus, these old eyes appreciate being able to adjust font size. I noticed this when I was trying to backfill the Discworld series. The books jumped from roughly $8 to &15 each. What can possibly justify this jump aside from “that they can”.  The series has been out for years and the paperbacks go for about $7.  Eventually, I was able to pick them up for cheap thanks to a Humble Bundle. I don’t mind paying if the book is a new release or still only available in print as a hardcover. I just find it ridiculous for the ebook to be more than a non-discounted paperback. Especially, since you don’t technically own the ebook, but rather have a perpetual license to it (and we know they can take it away anytime). It also seems like ebooks don’t go one sales that often anymore. Unfortunately, while I have the Libby app, they rarely have the books I want to read. What are your thoughts?  Do you use an eReader and if so, how do you get your books.</blockquote>
