I am fine with paying a premium when the book is new and hot, but when a decades-old paperback can be purchased new for $6 and the ebook is on the offer for more than double, I feel robbed and I won't pay it.
Eh, when the paper-back is released an ebook version of the paperback is released with frozen price, of course. And it need to be a new version since the paperback have error corrections that we want to have in the ebook version also.
