Heheh, if you can print the book then you can output it as a PDF; e.g., make it portable for your Reader, Iliad, etc.,, DRM required. One thing I do not like about this is the sliding scale you said that Amazon is attempting to use; sure it may be good for new releases, but since printing costs are non-existent I cannot understand why they charge so much for an e-Book. If a paperback is $7.99 in print, then the eBook should only be a fraction of that cost or no more than a third; i.e., middle-man gone, no printing/shipping/packaging costs, etc. Of course once a book gets released in the digital wilderness it is gone for good, so I suppose they are trying to mitigate their perceived losses by charging more at the outset to make up for what they might lose in the future.
