And if they didn't do it, you'd have a reader from Amazon with no content but fan fiction and books you scan and OCR yourself.
There is value in the product the publishers are offering, in the format they are choosing to offer it, which has every right to have whatever price the market will bear, regardless of the costs associated with producing it.
The content adds value to the purchase of the device, the purchase of the device does not take a away value from the content.
