I wouldn't even buy those. Who wants a bunch of shitty ebooks that they don't even bother to include cover art for? Sure, lately, the way they do contracts for the cover artists must include ebooks, but any title prior to about 2018 still has the shitty generic cover for whichever Random House imprint it is.

And as juvenile as it sounds, I'd actually like my copies of The Dark Tower to include the interior art too. Completely absent.

We finally got to a point in the future where theoretically they could siphon tens of thousands of dollars out of me (because I wouldn't first have to spend x20 that amount buying a home with a large enough library proper), and their authorized, authentic ebooks look no better than some half-assed scan downloaded from a #bookz DCC bot.
