1+ I have to really love a book to spend more than 10.

I resent paying more than $10 for something I only license, don't own.
there are a couple of authors that I collect, and will buy in hardback (I'm looking at Lois Bujold here). There's one author I used to collect in both paper and audio, but his new publisher has really jacked up the prices for ever slimmer volumes so high that I'm only getting them in audio these days (I really like the way that they're narrated - to me, on these books, the narrator is so perfectly matched to the "voice" of the book that they're inseparable to me.)

I just remove the DRM from my e-books or buy from places that don't use them. I don't like paying more than 10 for e-book either.

way to go is really self publishing: the Wool guy being a nice example of this. Give old leech publishers the finger and get it on stores for the right price for media which doesn't require anything even remotely close to tons of paper, ink and press + storage + trucks driving all way down the country + shelf space. digital goodies and replication are terribly cheap compared to that. You'll do just fine...

I agree the middle men (publishers) are the main reason we have 12.99 e-books, compare their e-book to that of most independent authors 5.00
