I hate to cross threads with you here Harry, and I realize that a "boycott if it costs a penny more" and "Most of them that I buy are under $10.00" are not the same thing, but to me that comes very near the same thing.

How did you arrive at this arbitrary $10.00 price break and why is that so much different than a flat refusal to buy new releases or popular ebooks that are over $9.99.

WDE.
