This gave me a thought:
discontinued is somewhat of an obsolete idea. It costs a lot of money to run another printing of a pbook when you think you'll only sell a few more. But for eBooks, it costs almost nothing to keep them "in stock" once you've put the content into your database. I've lost count of the number of books I didn't buy because they weren't in stock that day or they were discontinued. In many cases I didn't buy anything and just re-read an older book instead. If books were to remain for sale (for cheaper) rather than be discontinued, how much extra money would that make for everybody?
