I should have been more clear-I meant that a novel was less like one song and more like a collection of songs, and shouldn't be priced similarly to one song.
I actually don't necessarily think iTunes is necessarily a "fair model", but the OP used it as what he thought was a good example.
And sorry, but I'm not going along with the hypothetical one song = one novel, but if it works for your argument, go for it.
