Dear Professional Contrarian:
You are absolutely right - seller can pick any price they want. Their goods, their decision. And the seller can equally decide that the price is unfair and unrelated to the value of the product. And more so, can bad mouth the seller if they want for any principle they want include three cents is too much.
Obviously ebook prices have almost nothing to do with supply and demand. It is not like a unique coffee table, limited edition printing or even an early printing of the hardback. It is bits and bytes that can be reproduced (supplied) over and over with almost not additional cost (obviously, there is some, if almost nil).
I am pretty sure the rules will change as we move more and more into ebooks and people's valuation of same.
