If you think a book is too expensive then read some low priced books or something that is in the public domain.
Not just more expensive, but loaded with the annoyance of DRM, based on
a claim that it is preventing the "sharing". Those who are actually stealing
ebooks, are making it harder on all of us who are willing to buy ebooks.
