I like e-books cause I usually can't wait to get it--instant gratification. I only print the pages of the patterns I want. A lot of times they charge a discounted price for the downloaded version of the book and that's what I look for. I did however, have a hiccup with one book. The site I ordered it from only uses Adobe Digital Editions. I had to print out the book in 2 parts and then I didn't get the last 2 pages. When I went back to print the last 2 pages, it wouldn't let me and that was the pattern I wanted the most! I did email the site (CT Publishing) and complained and they were glad to email me the last 2 pages! It was a good outcome but I think I will stay away from anything that downloads with Digital Editions...I'll stick to my regular PDF downloads.
