You can buy a used copy of the paper book. Who says just because you have an ereader that you can no longer read paper books.

The cost to produce or keep the book doesn't matter. Do you CARE how many millions Steven King is paid for his books, or how little the new author was paid for the book you want to read? Of course not. If an author spent 10 years full time researching a book to make it authentic -- or whether he pulled it completely out of thin air in a weekend -- doesn't matter. Either you want to read the book or not at the price offered.
