Yes, me too. Below $10.00, my 'ah...er...' hasn't been triggered. As also another poster pointed out, you no longer, with eBooks, can mitigate the original purchase price, by selling/trading the copy to a used/exchange book store 'down the block'. While I really am enjoying my eReader experience, I can and could go back to picking up my books via 'pulp method' for the advantages of such. Yes, there are both advantages to eReading and pReading. If the prices in the eReading segment keep climbing as I have seen after the record sales of eReaders and adoptation this past December...I will certainly blend the two to make my bucks go as far as they can. Present times are not good, job losses are becoming newspaper chronic...we are all going to have to hunker down. I do hope that the purveyors of books, also see the economic trends, and everybody gets to play in the present sandbox....
