So, when do the publishers get around to providing value for the money? When I'm paying $7.99 for an e-book that is out as an $8 paperback and I don't get the cover art and they've screwed up the formating so that alternating paragraphs are in different fonts I don't see that the prices should be anywhere near the same. The story was an $8 story but the publisher caused negative value that reduced it to $1.99 territory.
