For those who NEVER thought books were worth $20 or more....your opinions on new release ebooks simply won't matter to the publishers. Never did before, still don't now.

The individual consumer is fighting back. Amazon reviews for books where the ebook price is
higher than the pbook price are being inundated with one star reviews.

This is bound to hurt incremental sales for both the ebook and pbook. The publisher may not care what I think, but if a lot of people think the same way as I do, and vote with their reviews, it will hurt the publisher, and books sales. Value for $ is an integral, valid and legitimate component of any review.
