Well, Harry, I figure it's either gonna be this topic or a new one that has a very similar discussion... The number of e-readers and tablets skyrocketed this Christmas, and the number of people that are, or will shortly be, extremely "perturbed" when they see the publisher prices, will likewise skyrocket.
I suspect a significant number of those folks will go looking for places where they can get CURRENT titles - they aren't going to be interested in Gutenberg and reading Dickens - they want Steven King or Dean Koontz or The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo... I suspect pirate websites will proliferate just like pirate websites for software have.
