Oh, and you can't sell a digital copy. If you don't like something, you are stuck with it. You can't let friends borrow it. You can't put it on your shelf. You have nothing to show for what you paid for. It's the same reason why I will never buy a digital copy of a movie or video game. You either give me a physical copy or I don't pay for it.

you can't "grasp why"?... seems pretty obvious why.. some people want the content but don't need a physical copy of it to enjoy it. they don't want these types of things to take up space etc.

i have plenty of digital copies of movies. i definitely prefer having the digital copy over the physical copy.

also, comics and dvd's these days are abundant and cheap, so i don't know why anyone would worry about the resale value of them..

lastly you're not "stuck" with it. it's far easier to electronically delete something than it is to throw it away or recycle it.

i used to collect and read comics, but i lost the desire, there's just no reason for me to own them, i don't display them, i don't re-read them, and they just sit and take up space.
