That's what I was going to say, so well said. If 20% of the cost no longer exists than why are the books not 20% cheaper. And then as someone else mentioned I can go to Costco or elsewhere and get a discount - seems similar discounts should be available for ebooks.
Too bad the Justice Department is defending war stuff - if some of those lawyers had time to read ebooks, maybe they would investigate price collusion.
