As to the best price for ebooks - I don't know: but the price of a mass-market paperback is a good upper bound.

Well, that is the upper bound of all *my* ebooks. If the price is too high, I don't buy it. I have lots to read, I don't *have* to have that new one the moment it comes out - or if I do, I'll check it out of the library and wait for the ebook price to drop. I'm *not* paying hardcover prices for ebooks.
