What if the prices were reversed. Would a $10.40 paperback be "driven by greed"?

I'm sorry, but just because you don't like the price, that doesn't make the vendor greedy.

Amazon could probably turn a nice profit by selling the eBook versions for $4.99. Therefore, asking $9.99 for them is greed, IMO. That should mean a lot, coming from an American. (since we are notoriously capitalistic) Maybe not right or wrong, but definitely greedy.

Now if it is true that the publisher is selling them to Amazon for something a lot closer to $9.99, then I'm just wrong. But I don't think that's the case.
