My question would be why you consider those factors to be very relevant to book-pricing, but not to other purchases? I'm assuming, of course, that when you purchase your favorite beverage in plastic rather than aluminum, that which one the manufacturer might make more profit on doesn't really factor into your decision. I know it doesn't in mine.

As a consumer, the way prices are set holds no interest for me. I'm not an industry insider. Perceived value is the only thing that concerns me. I'm buying ebooks after all--not selling them.
