But no matter how much one points out that new book prices are cheaper than they used to be from the big publishers....you’ll hear a chorus of “I only buy used paperbacks for a nickel”. Completely irrelevant to the battle between Amazon and the big 5 publishers.

Paperbacks are irrelevant but not eBook prices in general — or the fact that Amazon (and Barnes & Noble) used to have great sales on major publisher's eBooks
before the Big Publisher/Apple collusion and its agent pricing scheme.
And I think this is a major reason (not the only reason) why more people started borrowing eBooks from the library instead of buying them. I know that's why I did this.
