But see, retailers aren't
allowed to discount ebooks. Why would I pay $16 for the hardcover (which I can promptly resell) or $13 for the ebook with DRM? I agree, $1-2 is likely too little. But expecting me to pay hardback prices for an ebook is extreme. How about a
$10 ebook for a paperback that was published in 1992? Maybe
$15 is more your cup of tea? Or maybe have to wait 3 months after the hardback is released, then pay
$13? These are 3 examples of books I wanted to purchase and didn't due to price.

Usually including the word "ebook" or "download" is enough. If I Google "girl with the dragon tattoo ebook" I get 3 illegal hits on the first page of results.
