well 40 no. but for a brand new book. in the first 2 weeks to a month of release. I think should cost $20-25. the price of an average DVD on its first release. and then the price drops as the people stop buying it automatically to keep the price up with the demand, so it sells the same amount of copies every week. I think that's fair in all honesty. lets them make the most amount of money and have sales figures not to gawk at. and lets them make the most amount of money.
people who read ebooks read more than people who don't. for people who have to read the latest now
