I agree with this. It doesn't mean that I don't value authors but reading a book a day I simply can't afford to pay $20 per book. It's fine for those who read only 5 books a year. I wouldn't care either if I only bought that many. I give much more to authors than that croud even if they always paid full hardback prices because I buy many more books. I more than make up in volume what I won't/can't pay in price.
