I agree 100% with the publishers. I am angry about amazon's willingness to sell popular books at $10, I would much preferr to pay the traditional $8 for the popular books. At least in my humble opinion $10 is far to much to pay for any book regardless if its popular or not. I find that I can get enough books to last me for the rest of my life for $6 and below less then anything that sells in book stores today. So much so I am not willing to willing to go to a book store at all. Book prices are far higher then they have any right to be. For my current juncture in reading I am getting all I want for $0 but I will eventually will need to put some dollars on the table. Some of my favorite publishers are willing to give away some of their older books, books that I need to read in order to understand what is going on in the later books. Therefore I am not willing to pay for them. I am only willing to pay as much as the lowest price store is willing to charge, and that goes for anything not just books. If I can get it for less why pay more, I preferr paying less.
