My concern is with the here and now, and primarily about backlist fiction.
As I have stated elsewhere, there are no Perry Mason books legitimately available as eBooks. A pirate can and will make eBooks of them easily and then give them away free.
Assuming that a publisher has the rights to them, and just hasn't gotten around to them, I think that publisher should do his job and e-publish the books, and price them at something very nominal like 99 cents.
These large cost sums bandied about may be appropriate for new books, but I do not think they are relevant for backlist fiction.
