I think if you asked that way from the get-go you would have gotten more straightforward answers and suggestions. How you worded your post contains what many consider erroneous misconceptions and folks will take the time to clear them up.

Getting to your original point here is your option.
  • Buy the eBook for $9.99. It's cheaper than a new pBook and cheaper than any other eBook retailer
  • Exercise your choice as a consumer and don't by the eBook.
  • Check out the book in the library (paper book or electronically--if you have access to one)
  • Buy a used book for dirt cheap.

For the record I agree with you this book is way too expensive and should be cheaper considering it's age. But it is what it is. On a plus side Penguin classics tend to have supplemental material that enhances the book value
