Well, actually, you are entitled to determine the price you will pay now. I do understand what you meant to say, though, and I disagree.
Back in 1960 reasonable profits were made after expenses. In 2011, we are being robbed. If you believe the expenses are the same or more to produce mass copies of an ebook, you are being naive.
I don't EXPECT anything for free. I do take freebies when they come along and I appreciate them. I expect to pay for what I want but I don't want to be charged more for something that costs much less to produce. At least one publisher has admitted in writing that they charge more for ebooks just because they can and not based on real expenses.
