The last time I checked, the DRM eBook sites are not doing very well.
Versus what? Sony announced not to long ago that they have been astounded by the success of their Connect eBook store and it beat all of their projections.

Many people do not understand that a DRMed eBook is a rental - not a sale.
And many people, like me, don't care.

And those billions of songs sold represent a small percentage of the music on MP3 players - as Steve Jobs knows and has stated.
What does that have to do with how they are priced?

Anyone who has been on this board for a bit is well aware of your stance against DRM, and that is fine. DRM is a disadvantage to be weighed against the advantages according to a person's needs. Even though I don't buy DRM-controlled music in iTunes I can see why other people might. And I do buy DRM-controlled eBooks because for me the advantage is greater than the disadvantage. Apparently that is not the same for you, but I wish you could at least realize that your situation is not the same as everyone else's.
