I was reading some Harry Turtledove the other day, and went to see if e-books of his old Videssos cycle novels existed. They were $8 at all the major booksellers, which IMO is ridiculous for books that are more than 20 years old. For $5 I would have considered the purchase, and for $3 I probably would have bought the entire set on impulse.
The publishing industry really needs to jump onto the "long tail" model for older titles.
