With you on that, but it still dees illustrate that prices of ebooks are still too high. I purchased the last book in the series on day of release for around $6.99. Good old agency 5 pricing (fixing) at work.

I agree with you about downloading not being OK, however the lost profits figures are always artificially inflated by assuming a lost sale per download, when that is not necessarily the case.
Such an unknown factor should never be added to such reports and criticism should and is leveled at such deceit. However that assumption is added because it spruiks the entertainment industries point of view.
