You have funny conception of the market, which most of us less fortunate ones realize is Capitalism gone rampant and Democracy diminished.

Of course we do. If something is over-priced we don't buy it or go elsewhere for it, where it is a fair price.
When there is only one source for an ebook, you don't get that luxury, and that is why there are rules governing monopolies, but alas hard to enforce or prosecute in this instance.
So all we can do is complain about unfair prices, which is what many of us do and will continue to do. Plus support those who play fair and show respect for their customers.
