I find hardcover books at Target that are cheaper than the Agency books were. I find the inability to lend the ebook to a friend or donate it to the library to be a significant detriment. Therefore, I think an ebook should cost less than the hardcover version, both because of the increased costs of pbooks and the decreased rights with ebooks. But I remember during Agency I wanted to read King's JFK (can't remember the title, I believe it was the date JFK was assassinated) and it was $16.99 for the ebook. But the pbook was at Target for $14.99. That is why I hate Agency. I feel taken advantage of. I wouldn't care if that money was going to the author (not King, he is rich enough), but I know it was going to the publisher, and was not because that was the value of the ebook, but because they wanted to prop up the value of the hardcover.
