Ther are lots of alternatives out there and publishers and authors who are greedy deserve to go broke.

As I started to reading this thread the above is exactly what I decided I was going to say.
I have now bought over 200 ebooks and most of them are indie authors that I would otherwise never have heard of let alone read. And I saved heaps of money.
Stuff the 'name' publishing houses and authors; if they don't come into the 21st C market they lose my dough.
Yesterday I went to Borders AU website for the first time and saw Bryce Courtenay's latest offering priced at $29.95 for the ebook version. Best laugh I had all weekend.
