Prices are pretty much up to the seller and and in general the consumer doesn't have to buy. Hard to make a life or death case on the purchase of an ebook.
I hve had many people walk up to me and ask what I had paid for an item.
Bizarre response when I tell them include:
That cheap, can't be any good.
You must be rich to afford that ($40) and the guy was holding a $4 cup of coffee in his hand and wearing some pretty pricey clothes.
I'll give you five bucks for that when you told them $9.99 and then following you down the street saying come on it's used.
As you can tell, I like a bargain, but as with clothes, food, houses and cars etc. if the price is too high I do without or find an affordable alternative.
Many people even in this priveleged country (Canada) who cannot afford a permanent adress with which to get a library card.
