Anyone think rants on this forum count as feedback to the publishers?
Not buying the high priced books is the primary feedback that is going to mean something.
Plus so much of the ranting is just wrong headed. Debates over how much it costs or should cost to create an ebook when costs have next to nothing to do with pricing on books.
Misguided notions that there is some sort of monopoly power that publishers can exercise. When books have to compete for entertainment dollars, even IF there were such a thing as a book monopoly, it would have no power to price books beyond what the market would bear.
People actually supporting the "desire to be a monopolist" practices of the largest book retailer on the planet -- all the while pointing fingers at publishers.
So much absurdity in light of the impossibility that any ebook can be priced too high.
