In my humble opinion book prices are set by publishers in order to attempt to get their customers to behave in a certain way that is best for their publishing model. Those that charge equal or more for the electronic books are attempting to get their customers away from electronic books. I have two strict rules for all of the books that I have: 1) I will pay no more than $6 for any book printed or electronic; 2) I will not buy any book where the electronic book price is equal to or more than the printed book price. I have found several publishers that are willing to meet my parameters and I am quite happy doing business the way I have for a while now. Freequently I pay $0 for the books, however I do not feel that I can expect to get all of the books for $0 simply the first book in a series, that's the loss leader concept again. I am willing to partake in the loss leader since I get to try an authors writting style before I invest any of my hard earned dollars.
