What do you consider to be a "realistic level"?

Let's say an eBook provides me with 10 hours of entertainment. What's a realistic hourly rate to pay for entertainment? $1/hour seems ridiculously low, and that would fairly price the book at $10. Shall we say $5/hour is a figure that most people would be willing to pay for high-quality entertainment? (Seems reasonable enough to me). That would make $50 a fair price for the e-book.

We are fortunate in that the overwhelming majority of e-books cost under $10, and provide us with quite ridiculously cheap entertainment.
