I tried to participate in a discussion on the Amazon forums about this. There's no talking to them. One person said, instead of buying the kindle edition for more than $9.99, she would buy the used paperback from Amazon--that would teach 'em.
I then explained that I was selling some used books on Amazon and the commission was $3 per book. If I charged $4, I made a buck. You're not "sticking it to the man." Amazon is making money for nothing on the used books--probably as much or more than the kindle books! They don't care--they won't listen to logic.
I won't pay more than I would pay for a paperback. I'm saving money in the long run, because I'm reading more "hardcovers" than I would have. Between the free books and the Stephen King books for $7.99, I'm ahead of the game.
