I buy Barbara Hambly in two languages at an average of $15+tax for French MMPB paperback translations (TPB are usually around $30-40 when you can find them) and $15-24 for original English TPB/HC.
And I'm sorry, but much as I love her work, I would not pay $10, even "on sale", for a DRM-ed e-book edition of any single one of her works which I already own, and would choose to purchase a more expensive paper edition over a new e-book priced at that much.
Although I will give her $5 for those new novellas she writes and sells directly off her website. At least I know she gets all the money (minus Paypal fees) from that, and don't have to rely on the implied word of some re-publisher that they really do give their authors 50% royalty on some price (list? net? what?).
