I must admit the price gave me pause and the unbidden thought "Get it elsewhere" flashed through my mind, but I ordered it duly.
The price hike though is pretty steep.

And the previous one was a paperback original while the new one is coming out in hardcover, and the eBook is almost 25% cheaper than the paper edition on Amazon. The real question is going to be what happens to the Kindle price when the dead tree edition hits mass market in about a year.
I'm also with HarryT, the question of whether a person would have bought something if they didn't download it is irrelevant to the question of whether they should have downloaded it illegitimately. Just because it may not be a lost sale doesn't magically make it okay.
