Yes I believe it does send a msg. And I have emailed one publisher, Simon & Schuster, almost 3 weeks ago, and have not received a response. I emailed the author of one of the books, 1.5 weeks ago, and have received no response.
Here's a thought, if the publisher cannot price the ebook correctly, I don't want it. I have so much to choose from with my Kindle, that I could read until the cows come home and never spend another dime. And while I don't condone the behavior, I have found several sites giving away copyrighted books (many not even available as an ebook).
I fully expect that an ebook to cost less than any DTB. I expect the digital price to lower than any DTB. I expect Amazon to discount it approprately from there to give us some real savings. After all, I am the consumer, its my money to spend or not spend. The publishers need to wake up.
