Agreed. Apparently there are enough people out there willing to pay $15.99 (or whatever) for the latest book by a bestselling author for the publishers and stores to maintain this business model.

Personally, I usually wait until the book has been out a while and dropped in price (or until I can get it at the library) but if the people paying $15.99 are helping keep the author in business then that's OK with me.
