Some may argue that e-book prices need to be high because sales volume is low. I agree that if sales volume is truly low, then a higher price may be justified. However, it is ironic that some of the more expensive e-books are popular ones, which have a high volume of sales.
Great. What an opportunity you have as an author to sell underneath the competition. What an advantage to you that Hachette is charging "too much" for ebooks.

The last thing you aught to want, as an author who thinks ebooks cost too much, is to have your competition forced to lower their prices.
