So for me, I'm happy to see the e-book, but frustrated that it's not priced reasonably enough for me to get it.

And I'm not even sure it's good for the publisher...

If these were priced at $2.99 or $3.99, I'd end up buying them all over time. At $1.99 each, I'd probably buy them all at once. But at $7.99, I will never buy them, so they'll get nothing from me.
Oh yeah, I don't disagree. I don't usually buy +$7.99 books myself.

It's just funny that we think "Oh wow! Finally an ebook of XYZ. I never thought that would be released! $7.99? They can go to hell!"
