I can accept that you don't grasp what I'm getting at. I'm just not sure why.
As for being reasonable, when the item I prefer costs less to produce than the item I don't prefer I'm surprised that it has a higher selling price when both are available on the same page. I do understand that demand plays a big role but I don't think that's the answer here, since all the statistics seem to indicate that paper books sales are increasing more rapidly than ebook sales.
I'd much rather have a Chevy than a 747 and yet 747 prices are considerably higher than Chevy prices.
More seriously I don't think book prices rise or fall based simply on my personal preferences. I'm not the only one buying books.
