Unless you are trying to decide whether to buy as a ebook or pbook... I assume either way you will want it??
Of course, everyone has the right to get indignant and take up the cause of "fair" ebook prices, as long as they realize most people simply won't care. If someone honestly feels that the publisher is devaluing the ebook compared to the pbook, who are we to argue? I personally find that I have every right I need for my books -- if I want to lend a book to a friend, I register his Kindle to my account, download the book, and deregister so he can't spend a million bucks on me. If TTS really means that much to me, then Apprentice Alf has an application for that. All my books are backed up, in case I randomly lose access to them, (which is doubtful to begin with, but better safe than sorry...) so they will always work on MY kindle at least, and again, Apprentice Alf is my hero if I lose/break my Kindle.
That being so, I will pay whatever the price is, if I really want the book, and establish my own personal rights to do what I see fit with MY books.
