These people seem to think that if Amazon charges more for new books, they are being cheated somehow. Its an old, old topic, there is a thread here on it, and a long running one one the Amazon Kindle page.
They've gotten stuck, somehow, on the mistaken notion that Amazon said no book would be over $9.99.

Is that what it is? If I had a kindle I'd be part of this group.
I wouldn't have believed that NO book was over 9.99, btu an ebook should always be cheaper than the print version. It costs much less to make. I think a $10 new release, especially since they don't require any proofreading, etc. that I'm aware of (they have digital forms now), would be reasonable. There's no way I'm paying $18 for a book that I could pick up in print for the same price or less.
I don't think it's so unreasonable.
