Fair enough, but we're talking about straight PG ripoffs with no added value whatsoever. |
You are confusing "price" and "value". For me personally, it would be worth paying a few pounds to be able to download a nicely formatted Mobi version of a book directly from Amazon, even if that book contained exactly the same text as could be obtained at no cost from PG. The convenience of the direct download adds value. Value can be measured in more than simple monetary terms.
