As usual, I don't think you really read properly what I wrote ... seems to be a disease these days. There are factors you have clearly not taken into consideration, and you just have tunnel vision about me arguing about fairer ebook prices.

And you're the arbiter of "fairer."

Pretty clear who is benefiting financially from that scenario, and reaping a much larger reward these days ... it is self evident. I am not saying that needs to change, only that ebooks should be a fairer price, and the facts support me.

Pesky things, facts. They don't become such on your say-so.

You are entitled to your view, just as I am to mine.

The traditional retreat of someone who's lost an argument. All views are not equivalent and no one's entitled to an opinion just because they like to think it.

I refuse to continue arguing with those who have a clear obvious bias, not based on facts. My facts are cost based, not preference based, and some here seem to be unable to tell the difference ... wonder why.

Ah, yes, that popular declension: Your bias, my impartiality. Here's a simple economic fact: an item is worth what someone is willing to pay for it.

Many publishers do the right thing, but a good number don't ... may they rot in a Hell for their greed and lack of care etc.

Whoa, that's kind of harsh. Really? Eternal damnation because someone doesn't meet your very personal and unobjective standards of "fairness"? Can't they even work it off in Purgatory?
