BTW, Inkmesh has a feedback page. This was my suggestion.
What a great idea, I wonder if they'll actually implement it though, it seems like a conflict of interests - after all they are trying to sell books not help people not buy them. An even better way I've seen posted here, is whenever you add something to your blacklist, send a note to the publisher and author and let them know they just lost a sale.

I agree that it would be fair for them to follow the pBooks pricing schedule with the eBooks. So that initially the eBook is the same as the hardback, then, when it comes out, the eBook is the same or maybe even lower than the paperback. Personally, I wouldn't buy a hardback anyway so I'd be more than happy to wait for the lower price, but there are a lot of people, like you, who would be willing to pay the higher price, and what stupid sort of business model is it where they tell people they dont want them to pay more for something that they are willing to pay for?
