There are definitely times I wish I had a hard copy of an e-book. I think - much like Apple's $.99 price point - Amazon's $9.99 price point for most books will stick for quite some time. That's not a terrible price, in my opinion. That said, it is pretty stupid that I'm essentially borrowing an e-book from Amazon for $10. If they continue to place DRM restrictions on e-books, I think the price should diminish somewhat. I’m with you, Jason. There are definitely times I wish I had a hard copy of an e-book.

Manning, for example. So, at least we're moving in that direction. I’ve had several of the tech book publishers provide drm-free pdfs with the physical copy. Manning, for example.
