cheap
Actually, consumers have a great deal to say about the price of e-books, if they chose to weigh in and be patient. It's going to be classic supply-and-demand as soon as another million ebooks get dumped into the pipeline, and I predict 10 million by 2015.
A reader doesn't care if a novel took the writer 20 years to write. They don't care if a publisher has to pay off a bunch of staff people, lawyers, board of directors, and shareholders. They don't care if Steve Jobs thinks ebooks should be $15.
A reader wants the best experience at the lowest possible price.
