Exactly.
But the irrationality of their whinge goes one step beyond: it is a known fact that books sell better at lower prices. (Surprising, no?)
If they dropped the price, sales would go up and they might actually be taking in *more* money and the book would definitely reach more people. But that would be "devaluing" literature.
