When a necessity of life such as water or air or all forms of food are withheld to make a profit this could be construed as stealing or even murder.
Charging more for an ebook is only stealing if someone is forcing you to buy it.
I understand the frustration when someone in a low paying job cannot afford to pay full price for every ebook they want, but there are other options such as libraries, second hand pbooks, demanding a raise etc. . Not so easy for those who cannot afford to buy food and have no job.
