People have different methods of determining worth. Personally, an electronic file (an ebook) has less intrinsic value to me than a solid object (a pbook).

And "value" =/= $ worth.

There are a multitude of good reasons we could list to prefer cotton sheets over silk sheets, but that doesn't mean people should be happy to pay more for cotton than silk.

I have no problem with people comparing the paper price to the digital download price.

(I think some prices are strange on paper books too, when it comes to the quality and investment vs price connection, but that's just another variable... and thread. )
