Maybe in time, the soft spot I have for some authors who I currently no longer read due to prices will diminish and be replaced by newer authors who's book prices I find more palatable? Maybe it won't, maybe prices will change and it becomes a non issue (indie books increasing or agency books decreasing) Either way, I think you can be happy buying indie books and still be disgruntled about agency pricing, it doesn't need to be one or the other.
I wasn't the one who said I was "very happy" - now it's not one or the other but it's a little difficult being very happy and unhappy at the same time!!!
