If the book expired in 30 days, or even after six months, I'd expect to be paying only $0.50 or less.

I've read 139 books so far this year. My average book cost has been $3.28.

I'm very reluctant to pay more than $6 for an ebook. My most expensive reads this year have been two by Alexander McCall smith and one by Steig Larsson, each of which cost $8.50.
