What price shelf space?

Six Brookners take up about 70mm. If I replace them on the Kindle (now more of the early works have made it onto the platform: I swear they weren't there a couple of weeks back), that'll be £25.95 for the 5/6 that are available.

That's 37p per mm.

Incidentally, the winning of a Booker seems to add a premium: "Hotel du Lac" costs a whole £1 more than the others.

I couldn't do that - I just don't like reading on screen - I have enough trouble settling to reading long LJ posts, and emails beyond a certain length either get printed out and read on my commute and then I don't get around to responding as I have to read emails in replies and answer as I go.....(or i put off reading them at all until the contents are often no longer relevant)

I think reading on screen is a very personal choice, which is why I don't think physical books will ever disappear or offices ever end up entirely paperless.

Absolutely

There have been times when I'd have paid 37p/mm

[muninnhuginn]

Indeed.
