While I do mind paying $12-$15 for 40- 50-year-old backlist e-books, I think that's a quite legit price for a newly published book. In fact, I think it's a bargain.
But DRM is another matter. That interferes with my ownership of the book, and I resent it at whatever the price of the book is.

Oh, right you are, Catlady. I would've happy paid for the $7.99 they are asking for Hounded. In fact, I might have even paid that twice (both the eBook and the paperback because I can share the pb). Lets see, that is just under $16. A hardcover can be over $20. I would pay that for a book that sounds right up my alley and got a Publisher's Weekly starred review to boot. However, I will just be getting the paperback because the eBook is only on Amazon and B&N and all DRM'd.
