An example of stupidity is S&S. They publish Star Trek books. They were published mostly in MMPB format and eBook. The eBook has not changed, but since the new contract was ratified, S&S are now releasing the pBook in Trade PB format. So the eBook price has risen. The price of the eBook has gone from $7.99 to $11.99. The price of the eBook should not always be based on the price of the current pBook. The eBook should be priced fairly or at least allow the stores to discount like to do with the pBook.
What about it? My point is that there are price points that are established by the market and we know what they are. If you just want to rail about how much you dislike the Big Five publisher and that you think eBooks should be dirt cheap, fine.
