I can't see that ebooks should cost a lot myself. Granted someone has to put them in the proper format for ereaders but that shouldn't take more than a few hrs per book at most. And it's not like they have to ware house 1000's of copies of each book I would think. I mean if you and me both download the same title, say "Dracula" for example, aren't we downloading the same book? I mean say we both use epub format for example. Aren't we just both getting a copy of the same file? The original stays on the publisher's server unlike when you buy a pbook. And there isn't a cost for gas to get the book from their warehouse to the book store either. The storage cost is part of the electric bill for them I would think. And with several 100,000 books out there for sale surely they cover that pretty easily.
