No thanks! I'm still holding out that it will make the Fictionwise 100% micropay deal within a few weeks. Otherwise, I'll go on the library waiting list. What a rip-off!

I think it is crazy!! If you add to that the fact that, with DRM, you can't even hand
your copy to a friend when you are done. At least not legally. I think the e-version should always be 40-50 percent cheaper then the pbook. There is absurdly little overhead with electronic version.
I hope more and more publishers and sellers will follow the baen model of non-DRM and reasonable prices.
