Exactly. You and I both rarely bought hard back books at the new book price. Other people did. Enough other people did that publishers kept those prices at levels I never thought were ok for me.

The same is true of ebooks. It won't be whether you or I or the hundred-man-angry-mob of this forum buy ebooks at $14.99. It will be whether that same mysterious "market" that allowed the hard book prices to be so high will allow the ebook prices to be "too high" for us too.
