Clearly everyone either did not TAKE the class or do not remember or simply prefer to live in a fantasy world.
Real evidence of the real world was placed before your eyes. An ebook is in direct competition with the paper version of the same book. The new paper hard back, the used paper hard back, eventually the paper back and used paper back, and the library.
Real evidence from the real world is all over this forum. Folks declaring that they'll never buy an ebook for more than <insert individual price point here>. Doesn't matter if the publishers SET a higher price, they have no ability to compel people to buy the ebook at the high price.
