Im almost starting to view ebooks like a 20oz soda compzred to a 2litre. You are paying more for convenience than content.

2 litre soda is .99
20 oz soda is 1.60 but you get less. But you can carry it around easier, its not as bulky and weighs less.

I still don't like it, and think the prices could come down though.
