You and Jon should be together as a tag-team.

The most *plausible motive* for Amazon charging $9.99 was to drive sales of their Kindle ebook readers. And you guys keep bring up the dire warning about increased prices. Amazon is not a monopoly. There's plenty of sellers of ebooks. And as far as I've seen the competition is doing a good job of committing suicide.
