Yes, it will hurt some, but should I care about that, when they have allowed the current system to exist?
Well, the author can choose not top have any reader also not using a publisher.

"allowed the current system to exist"? Exactly what is so obviously bad with the current system? I do not get it? Why is an arbitrarily choose line relevant for deciding if a price is good or bad? Why use $9.99? Why not use $8.99? Or $10.99?

Is it also OK to give one star reviews of the book without reading it if you do not like the author race? Or his political views? Or his clothes?
