Kind of funny how, no matter how much it's pointed out that the actual printing price is only a small fraction of the cost to produce the book, people simply won't accept it. If you have some price threshold you won't go over, that's fine. Many people do. But it really has nothing to do with the actual cost of producing and distributing an ebook verses a paper book.
