I think it's entirely feasible, there are no shipping costs, books take up very little space/bandwidth on a website. I don't see why all the shipping and printing costs should be dumped on people reading electronic books, which is exactly what they are doing.

The reason I listed 2-6 dollars is because that would cover editor/author/artists costs and it's still an acceptable price range that most people are willing to pay for a book. Even poor college students can afford a ebook that costs 4 dollars.
