That SHOULD be our purpose as consumers. To get as high quality goods as possible, for as low a price as possible (while still remaining profitable for the manifacturer/author/etc.).
There's a tug of war between those who provides a product and who consumes it, which is the basis of the capitalistic society we live in. Consumer demands for low prized/high quality products is what drives prices down and spur innovation of features that consumers are willing to pay a premium for.
One of the most unhealthy things for ANY market are indiscriminate buyers. That goes for the book industry too.
