just to be clear, i did understand your point, but i still think that it is worthwhile to write a letter when you see an outrageous price ; for the moment, ebook sellers seem to be testing the waters to find out just how much they can get away with charging, and i think it's important to let them know that nobody wants to pay the same price as the hardcover edition for an ebook (especially if the book is already available in paperback for 1/2 the price...).
but in the meantime, definitely take a look at the search engine that Gianfranco has been working on. hopefully it will simplify your life a little bit at least.
