"Very High Price" is quite a loaded statement--regardless of the presence (or lack) of competition. It's a statement that's typically only uttered by the "
Ebooks should be much, much cheaper than they are" camp. A camp that no one has sufficiently proven to me represents a) a very significant portion of the reading public; and b) a very realistic portion of same.
The publisher sets
a price. Most of the reading public seem willing to pay it (for one format or the other). If they weren't, those prices would change.
