Also, was it a steep increase in price or is the comparison between hardback and paperback release ebook pricing? The only reference I can find is that new books cost more, doesn't mention if they are out in paperback yet.

I freely admit I was only basing that on this anecdotal evidence:

But regardless, I think it's a mistake to conflate reasons/factors with justification.
Agreeing/Not agreeing with an "
it costs too much, so I'm going to steal it" mindset isn't all that relevant to a discussion about whether or not price is a
factor in people deciding to pirate books.
