So a book which would cost me 25.95 less my LQS discount would cost. $44.95 if I downloaded it. . Is my thinking correct?
I only download free ebooks, and than leave them on my computer to read on the road, I have a laptop. Others use the Kindle reader or other portable e reader. Printing them off is going to be expensive. You may as well order the printed version. :-D :-D Just my thoughts.
