Again, I agree that ebook pricing is wonky. But harming authors over something they have no control over will not change what you want changed.
I'm with you on that one. I was thinking about it today and thought, maybe if I do that then I'll send a check to the author for their cut. I'd be cool with that.

Anemic- I think that's why blogging about it would be super effective. You say, "This book was $17 as an ebook, even though it's a $8 paperback, so I got it such and such place where the publisher gets no revenue."

Maybe we should all just send an email to the publisher each time we do that.
