The only time I consider high prices an ethical issue is when it involves a company intentionally taking advantage of a customer base that has no other reasonable options. This obviously is not the case with ebooks, and don't toss out some special-needs anecdote because you know that isn't typical and you're probably making it up anyway. For most people the ereader is a luxury electronic toy that only adds to their options, so cry me a river about the price of your fancy robo-novels, little lord fauntleroy. You're so oppressed.

How's everyone doin' this fine evening/day/morning?
