For me the outrage comes from publishers charging more for a product when demand ISN'T high. I was interested in Swan Song by Robert McCammon. Simon and Schuster wants $13.99 for the Kindle edition of a hardcover published in 1989.

The book is #7,853 in the Kindle Store, and #4,590 in Books. That's not bad, but I don't see any justification for such a high price for an old book.
