This may be true...but the point I am making is that they will loose the customers the currently have... and I would bet if the price goes about your sweet spot...you'll reduce spending, too.

I don't care what publishers claim they need to charge to make a profit. I only care about what I am willing to pay. That's the rub. THey have to adjust to their customer's price point, not the other way around.

I have purchased only one full price ebook since A6 came out. If I really want the book - I have no aversion to pbooks so I hit the 2nd hand market. Most of the time I can find a HB version of an A6 book for less that $2.99.
