A fifty cent paperback in my misspent youth would cost me roughly $3.50 today. I figure the fair price for an ebook is about a buck US.

So, to get the entire Nero Wolfe canon legally should cost me under a hundred bucks. Which I would gladly pay for good formatting, covers, etc. Without DRM. In a portable format. Until the publishers get a clue I choose the darknet.

BTW, I still own Nero Wolfe paperbacks that I purchased as a teen. I'm not going to pay eleven bucks for something that cost me .50 cents in 1968.
