If you feel that ebooks are overpriced, fair enough. But to not buy because you think the author is getting ripped off doesn't help anyone. You don't get a book you'd like to read and the author doesn't get anything; even if it is smaller than you think it should be - and really 'you' likely have no idea what the author is getting. I'm sure that even authors signed to same publisher have different deals worked out.

Of course each deal is individual, but most are "standard" and if we don't push in whatever way we can to encourage more good authors to write and to change this archaic system we are by going along implicitly supporting it.
