they sell public domain ebooks usually at the 10 bucks price range. That's clearly not minimal cost. Ebooks will eventually sell full-price as a pbook. How will you know it's alright when they are the only game in town?

All monopolies suck real bad. They are only acceptable when you live in an Idiocracy.
I guess Baen is a figment of my imagination. Because I seem to be able to buy new ebook editions from them for about $6. Yes they sell nothing but SF/Fantasy, but they seem to be doing alright within the Amazon hegemony
