And publishers could greatly increase the popularity of ebooks were they to drop the prices.
Having said all that, I'm still hooked on the things but would be more so were they a bit cheaper.

The other thing that worries me a bit about the pricing policy is the lack of compatibility between DRM formats. If I was to make a big investment in books from the Sony connect store and later wanted to purchase a different brand of reader I guess these would be useless to me?
