Maybe the current recession, the "Black Wednesday" of last week in publishing, or the huge recent pile of returns from B&N will lead to more sanity in ebook pricing.
Though to see today new e-books advertised at 14$ or so list price when they have been available in mmpb for a while and I think that are available cheaply as used is just insanity.
