Books that do not meet my buying criteria, I simply do not buy, which is my right.

I understand the desire to have every book available as a $5.99 or less ebook immediately, but desire and entitlement are distinctly different. So how about someone stepping up and demonstrating irrefutably their entitlement to low-priced, DRM-free ebooks simultaneously with the release of any p version.
Of course, we are not entitled to buy at any price. But as the buyer, I am entitled to not buy a book based on it's price.

I am entitled also to be irritated with the whole situation
