On pricing - I don't think it's ever been the issue that people have made it out to be. I find it ludicrous that people had no problem with $25 hard backs "on sale" for $20 but think $14.99 for an ebook is absurd.
Also, Audio books are even MORE expensive and they are the highest growth area right now (as someone else also pointed out).
Also, along with ebook has come the rise of the Indie author and REALLY CHEAP ebooks.
Not to mention all the free ebooks available.
You can pay far less than $10 for an ebook. But you can't get "newly released, best sellers for $10 anymore now that Amazon's "lose money to buy up market share" campaign has been stopped.
But just because a particular book costs $14.99 --- you have LOTS of cheaper options in ebooks.
