I think you must have misunderstood me. While I certainly buy a book that sounds interesting enough when on sale or if on my list to buy when a fair price, I often buy ebooks on release ... so long as they are a fair price.

I don't see a fair price as a sale price, though sometimes they are ... when previously they have been over-priced.

In fact, for a good number of authors who have fair priced ebooks, I buy on pre-order.

I certainly don't believe I have a skewed view. People can talk about value all they want, but it is also about costs, and ebooks cost far less to produce and provide than physical ones, and I'm not on this world to feed the fat cats.
