Yes, you're right, but...I guess it didn't really make sense to me, at first. There are folks who are not big book people, who don't understand why every digital thing in the known universe isn't free.
One of the biggest changes I had to make to my own...being, I guess, in going into what is effectively a retail market (making eBooks) is that I had to relearn how I dealt with people. In my former life, pre-crash, I had the good luck to deal with exceptionally bright people, stars in their own lines of endeavor, and never had to deal with your average bear. So, I tended to be, well, let's say...brusque? I had to relearn interaction skills...and at least one of my Crew harps on the idea that I've bent too far backward in the other direction. I probably should have either cut him off or given him the Men in Ink riff.

That idea works best. (I think).
