pointed out while chatting about them last night…
If reading the latest Katie Price in paperback in public, nobody is going to mug you for it*. Unlike if you have a shiny and expensive e book (at least until the price falls to the point where they give them away with a gallon of unleaded).
*And if they did, they know that the sentence is to be made to read it**.
** At least until the European Court rules on “unnecessary and extreme punishment.”
