Yes. Because I read 90% of the books I buy cover to cover and I forget about 90% of ebooks after reading a few pages.

I don't want to pay $30 for something I won't read. A physical book is there, it begs to be read. Even if I put it away for months on end, I will still eventually read it. Ebooks ... eh, I have tens if not hundreds on my ipad that I've never gotten past the first ten pages.

After all, Nathan's book is about ebook publishing. Wouldn't it be weird if it comes in paperback?

Yes.

Yes, what? What are you replying to? I didn't ask a question.

You made an assertion with enthusiasm. He said yes because he was agreeing with your '!'

If you read it out loud it sounds perfectly natural.
