That would be because readers have got used to sub-$5 prices for old books. Even new ones that would have actual tangible costs to produce rarely cost much more than $10. People aren't stupid, and most here know perfectly well how much work is involved in digitising a paper book. They also know that publishers do not employ proof readers to check ebooks.
