The insane prices of backlist ebooks. There are books I'd love to revisit, but not at $6, $8, $10 for what realistically are trivial and dated mysteries. Who's buying at these prices? Certainly not moi. $2? That strikes me as the sweet spot.
I can't resist noting that under the old system of copyright, (the one in force when the contracts were signed!), so many of these books would be in the public domain by now or very close.
