I don't think it's any co-incidence that Hatchette, MacMillan and Harper Collins have all put a pretty big list on sale at around $2.99. There's a huge market of book buyers down in that lower price range there isn't going to be a void of sellers willing to make money from them - whether they're "Indie" or traditionally published.

I know that sale got me to buy 3 books that I, uh, could have gotten from the library.
And, no, I haven't read them yet, so it's not like it was PRESSING.
