I wonder how many of those who complain about e-book prices were people who used to spend very little on print books -- maybe they used to borrow or buy them used or remaindered. Maybe those people are more sensitive about e-book pricing, because though e-books in general are a bargain compared with new books, they cannot compete against used-book prices, remainder-book prices or free books from the library.
