Personally I don't consider it a boycott so much as giving the decision makers who are setting ebook prices higher than print copies some free market research. Normally a retailer knows their prices are too high when they have excess inventory taking up space in their stores. Since with ebooks there probably isn't much expense involved in inventory, they might not realize how many sales they're losing. So I think those of us who refuse to be overcharged need to speak up.

That being said, I'm still buying $100 worth of ebooks from Amazon each month. There are plenty of books available for free and under my limit. For science fictions fans, Baen's web site is a good source of reasonable priced ebooks.
