Exactly. And most libraries won't take them as donations, and if they do, they'll probably just toss it if it doesn't sell on their $1 bin.

I still buy books, I just wish there was a more efficient way of rewarding the author. For that $10 book, I'm guessing the author gets $1-2, so why don't we just split the different and give me the e-book for $4-5?
