Frankly, this is really an attempt by MacMillan to destroy ebooks. Won't work. But we have to be militant on behalf of lower ebook prices and against these idots
This is what I'm afraid of. There was a Lisa Kleypas book last year that was in paperback for $6 or $7 and they had the ebook listed at $14.99 which was completely ridiculous. And of course, I did not buy it until the price came down. But this is exactly what MacMillan is going to try for...and any other publisher who thinks they can get away with it. I can promise you that I will NEVER pay more for an ebook than the paperback cost unless it is brand new...and there are damn few books that I "must have" when they first come out.
