Those of us in the 20th+ volumes of approx 40 books already see prices of $7.49 per book. If the go up to $10 each, that series will end up costing $400.

Luckily I bought most of them from fictionwise during various sales... I think I paid (net) about $150 for 39 books - almost all his output. I'm only missing "The Last Hero", "Unseen Academicals", "I Shall Wear Midnight" and the Bromeliad Trilogy.
"The Last Hero" isn't available in ebook formats. I just can't bring myself to pay £6.39 for "Unseen Academicals" when the paperback is £4.18. "I Shall Wear Midnight" isn't in paperback yet, but even when it is, I fear that the Kindle price will be too high for me. For some unknown reason, only the middle volume of the Bromeliad is available as an ebook, although the trilogy is available in an omnibus paperback for £6.19 (which also means that £5.99 is the most I'm willing to pay for an omnibus ebook).
Sigh... publishers leaving money on the table.
