I am not looking for free books or dirt cheap books (although I wouldn't object to either
). What I want is "reasonable" pricing. I realize that "reasonable" is in the eyes of the beholder.
I don't find that paying $50, or even $100 or more (one book I bought a few years ago cost $495), for a hardcover that I want is unreasonable when I can see that the hardcover price bears some real-world relationship to the paperback and ebook pricing. It is when there is no recognizable relationship that bothers me. It is as if the publisher or seller does not want to sell the hardcover, but then why offer it. I do not see why a hardcover should cost $70 more than a paperback or ebook. That "spread" I see as unreasonable.
As for Kindle Unlimited, I signed up for that for my wife. We are still in the trial period and are evaluating whether it is worth the subscription for her.
