Just as with any other commercial product, you can choose to buy the book at the price it's sold at, or spend your money elsewhere. I really don't think it's reasonable to claim that the publisher is behaving immorally or unfairly if they don't offer the book at a price that's as low as you personally believe it should be.

Well just imagine some company buying up all Orange distributors so they can control the price. Are you saying I should buy an Apple instead? They are both fruit.

If you think it's too expensive, you could buy a different book, or borrow it from the library instead.

And indeed I do, but a bit hard once you have bought into a series.
This topic as I keep saying, is about ebook price fairness and behavior of publishers and why ... not necessarily what I may or may not do when it comes to buying.
While I've got the chance, let me thank you and others for the information and views you have provided, especially the more detailed ones. I've taken a lot of it on board, even though I did know a lot of it, you have still filled in some gaps and refreshed my mind on a few things.
