It's also frustrating when a small, decades old book is the same price as a new much larger book. (Starship Troopers, published in the 60s is under 300 pages and $9.99. So are all of the Wheel of Time books...the most recent one published in 2013 and 1025 pages. It's ridiculous that they're the same price.)
I also. I have a lot of boxes of old paper books I would replace with ebooks for a reasonable price, possibly as much as $4 depending on how much I like them. But for decades old books that I have read many times and still own $8 is NOT reasonable for me. I'll just read my paper books if I feel like reading them again. What's funny is that judging by some of those books' Amazon Best Seller Ranks the publishers are making dismal sales on them. I wonder if the price has something to do with that?
