Very true.
If the only option is a $25 book, I would rather just not buy it instead of sucking it up and paying.
The assumption is that if the publishers didn't release cheaper versions then we would all just buy the expensive hardcover but this assumption is inherently flawed for the reasons mentioned by above.
