No, I'm not. I'm saying that the price should be what the reader is willing to pay, rather than what some committee thinks a book is "worth". I might think a book is crap, but just because I wouldn't pay for the book doesn't mean that the book should be cheap. The price of the book should reflect them demand. Having some third party dictating price takes away the readers power to assign their own value to a book.
