Yet there have NYT #1 bestsellers that have been $30 for the hardcover and $19 for the ebook. Obviously, tens of thousands of people think those prices are fine. Now you can disagree with the value judgments of such buyers, but it reinforces my contention that there are multiple price points for the book market, just as there are for many other markets.
If I am a guy with lots of disposable income, whose dream is to have a book lined, Victorian style personal library, then $30 or more for a bestseller HC is acceptable. Clearly its not acceptable for many people, but variety is the spice of life, etc.
