Generally I wait for a sale or just save up my Google Survey credits until I can afford one so I'm not paying an obscene amount but still, I'd kill to have the books I buy new come with digital editions. I generally end up rebuying my books on my iPad so I can read them in comfort.

as well as my DC Omnibus' and Absolute Editions I don't like hauling them around to read (or, in the case of the Absolutes and Omnibus', even trying to read them due to their unwieldy size lol). No option exists for books, however, and, as much as I LOVE my hardcover editions of The Hobbit, LOTR, ASOIF, Dune, etc. I've been backing my blu-rays up (first to an external HDD, now to a Plex Server) since I started collecting wayyyy back in 2008 when I was in High School so I'm used to that. I buy physical copies of everything I enjoy (games, movies, music, books) because I don't want to be held to the whims of streaming services, big corporations, and what some vocal minority determines to be 'out of touch.' Games are pretty dang hard to make backups of and music is so ubiquitous on the internet (plus Spotify's platform is actually pretty decent and almost necessary for me in the car at this point) that I don't feel the need to make backups of my records (even though my record player does technically support it). I would 10000% pay extra money to get a copy of a book that came with a digital version or a voucher for a digital version on the platform of my choice. Just curious to hear others thoughts on this idea and discussions. Are you a physical book reader or an eBook reader? Is this process easier then we think or are we missing to see something that is holding us back from doing this?ģ.

So maybe this hasn't happened cause its too much work? But that wouldn't explain why PC games and DVDs have been to do it. The list could go on and on for issues that might arise because of this I assume. There are gonna be people who complain that they should get physical copies for having already owned the book prior to this change. There are gonna be people who might walk into a book stores scan some books and walk out like nothing happened. I think it more aligns with the idea of how do we police it and even begin such a process. I don't think publishers/authors are greedy which is why they wont offer such a service.

We have seen PC games and DVD movies have codes that allow you to download a digital version of the content, so why haven't we seen books take a similar approach? I think its dumb that I would have to pay again to obtain an eBook version of something I just bought. I cannot deny the ease and convenience of eBooks though! Which is why I like the idea of having the option for such a thing. If possible I would rather read from pages rather then from my tablet/computer screen. Should printed/physical books you purchase at the store or online, come with a QR code or 16-digit code to that you can redeem for a(n) eBook version of the book you just purchased? Thus, I come with a simple question today for the community.

I'm a firm believer in the idea that once you pay full price for something once, you shouldn't have to pay again to receive it again in a different format.
