I respect the amount of work it takes to write a book, and don't think it's realistic to expect a professionally published book to sell for £1.
No one ever said ebooks have to cost $1. But $15 is often too high. And the book was unsatisfying, too.

The one and only full price ebook I purchased was $13.99. If I had waited 1 week I could have bought the HB for $2.50, practically brand new. I am 100% sure that I am not the only person making these price comparisons.
