Not a great deal of organization required, but at least it puts it marginally in the realm of what could rightfully be termed a boycott.

I only object to the pricing. I don't care what motives publishers have or how they implement policy. I don't care if what they're doing is legal or not. The bottom line is that eBooks priced at or higher than their paperback counterparts are overpriced, period.
I won't pay those prices; those that do only have themselves to blame for the continued existence of the agency model.
Since reading is an optional life activity and not a necessity to maintain one's existence upon this planet, my only moral obligation is to not participate in this pricing scheme and move on. I'll express those views on this board, but that's the extent of it.
