I have a few problems here and this post may sound harsh but I do still think you have a valid point on that pricing, Timboli.
First, reviews are for book content, not complaining about prices. That's a pet peeve of mine.
Second, I realise the price is still outrageously higher regardless, but Australian dollars do not equal U.S. dollars. Take for example that the minimum wage in the U.S. is around $7.25 an hour while the minimum wage in Australia is around $17.70.
Third, if you have money to spend on entertainment and the book is available, then I fully, 100% oppose anybody using alternate means to obtain the book. You have absolutely no justification whatsoever in my opinion. You don't like the price? Then don't buy it. Simple as that. You are basically saying, 'I have the money to buy the book, and the book is available, but I don't agree with the price they want to charge me so I'll use alternate means'.
If the book wasn't available in your country in any format, pbook or ebook, then I might have a bit of empathy, or if you were poor and this was learning material and not available through a library or anywhere else then again I might have a bit of empathy.
