you can buy like all trilogies as a trilogy and not each book individually. why don't they do this with ebooks yet? it's annoying.

i'm betting it has something to do with pricing. they can't price them any lower than all the books would cost separate so they don't bother.
publishers are pushing hard to set specified prices on ebooks so amazon doesn't start a price war with ebooks, like they did with hardcovers, and run the price into the ground and fubar the market.
so basically they could sell stuff in sets but since the price would be the same as selling them all separately they don't bother.

let me buy in bulk dammit. >_< seriously more publishers need to get on the digital book bandwagon. i want to pay for the kushiel's books and read them all nicely formatted on my nook but i can't because bn doesn't have them and the versions amazon does are topaz.  (topaz is like having each page saved as a fking image so you can't adjust a damn thing in it.)

Turning pages is unbearable.
Also, the strain you get in your hands holding the book open, ugh.

Please. Tell me this is sarcasm. Pretty please.
I understand enjoying reading ebooks, hell I just bought a nook myself. But if this is an honest to god statement I just lost all faith in humanity.
