As someone who's never been able to afford full price for all the books I'd like to own I can't quite understand not caring about book prices. I'm still adjusting to the fact that between $1.99 sales and various freebies, I can afford to own more ebooks worth reading then I actually have time to read.
Before ebooks I never had to consider if I'd actually have time to read a book  (just desirability, cost and space) |
I read the post quite differently.
I read it as "I only look at the ebook price and if I can afford it or it is in my desired price range, I will buy it."
He only said he doesn't look at the pbook price, not that he doesn't look at the ebook price.
