paying for things that don't exist

Right now, I have to say that paying for "ebooks", which is not books, and not even an object, is not for me.

Most "serious writers" make a living as a direct result of book sales.
What? Like the retarded TV personalities that write books extolling the virtues of bullshit like homeopathic "medicine"? Or the people who write books on astrology? Please.
fiction
Ah, fictional subjects. Any good book on that is automatically in the public domain, so that's a moot issue.
The rest of your post was exceedingly retarded.
Apparently you've never heard of DRM and the companies that hound people over "intellectual property" rights. My library on paper will still be around in a 100 years time. I cannot say the same for a portable ebook reader, especially its data.

Paying for DRM'd content is stupid.  If you really have to, first make sure you can break the protection and dump the data into a nice free format like ps or DjVu.  Your paper library will be rotten in 100 years time, as rotten as your own body.  My digital library of DRM-free content will hopefully still be mirrored in at least five different places on various storage systems, including optical media.  So kiss my shiny encrypted ECC'd DRM-free ass.
