How many consumer items can I count where quantities have decreased but not prices -- coffee, candy, etc. I may consider purchase of a normal 350-400 page eBook novel for $9.99 from a favorite author, but I'm not likely to purchase a 150-200 page novelette for the same price.
Most of the shorter stuff is priced around 2.99 or less. But I agree, you do have to take a good look at the length of what you are buying
