That is exactly what would shut us all up. Of course, I remember some 1 star reviews for books that were over $9.99, but that was just wrong, IMHO.
I would have paid the hardcover price for Under the Dome. Instead, I downloaded it off the darknet. I think that is what will happen. In the case of Under the Dome, I did buy the ebook version when it came out, but I feel no obligation to do that in the future.
