Given that the production costs of an ebook are lower than a paper book, I have trouble believing you made that statement with a straight face.

As a consumer, my expectations may be different than yours. Digital books are worth more to
me. Productions costs don’t enter in to my decision process of whether or not I buy a certain book.
It doesn’t matter if I can buy the paperback copy for less money. I can’t read it.
But when I buy a digital copy from Amazon, my husband has access to the same book, as does my elderly mother, and a DIL who lives 400 miles away. My husband and I use the same Amazon account for our book purchases. Should one of us die, the other will continue doing so. Should we both die at the same, my DIL has the account info, if she wishes to use it.
What works for me may not work for you. There is no reason to be uppity or snarky about it. If you can read paperbacks, be thankful for good vision. I’m pushing 60, and was born with very poor vision. If it weren’t for digital books, I’d be lucky to read one book a month.
I think wild caught sockeye salmon is worth $25 per pound, and gladly pay it when they run. I’ve a friend who thinks that’s crazy behavior. And so it goes.
