I don't expect every book to cost $3.00 - but when I CAN buy a bestseller for $3-$5 in paper...paying the higher price point makes me feel like booby the damn fool.

I am not talking about $3 indies here, I'm talking brand new HB copes of Mercedes Lackey's Oct 2011 release (well, not anymore, the good copies are gone now. I decided not to buy until the final book is published).

So I could see paying $6.99 - $7.99USD for a new book...but over $10 in ebook format? I can buy it used in paper and pay half price. That stretches my budget farther and I get what I want. Publishers STILL get not one red cent from me.
