I've not got much idea of these, and so would guess that they would equate to around 50% of the cost of a book. I'm prepared to pay up to 75% of a 'real' version, otherwise - again - I'll wait.
Yeah, we won't bother paying the author or worry about the publisher making a profit. We'll base the idea of a 'book' only on the physical medium. Meanwhile, I will continue to pay for the content of the book.
