It also isn't just deciding that the value vs. price of an ebook is worth it to you. It is a principles argument as well. It is the fact (at least perceived fact) that it costs soooo much less to publish an ebook (no production/shipping costs) and the publisher is charging the same amount, or more, for an ebook...
IF that extra amount was being paid to the author then it wouldn't be as big a deal. But, at best, the author is only getting a small percentage of that increased price. It is simply the publishers gouging the market off of the backs of the authors.
