Silly them.

I'll certainly pay more for an ebook if it's by an author I want to read.

I've paid as high as $17.00 - and will do so again, if it's an author whom I wish to read.

I do agree with you that it is the customer who decides what price is "acceptable and accepted." If there is an ebook I want, then I make my decision on whether it is acceptable or accepted. If not, then I don't buy. If acceptable - and someone [or a title] that want to read - then I buy.


Don

P.S.: I'm also a book collector of 20th-21th Century Fiction - of certain writers and certain types of Fiction, most often Post-Modern Literature and Meta-Fiction - to include David Foster Wallace, Haruki Murakami, Claude Simon, Michael Butor, William Gaddis, Thomas Pynchon, Don DeLilo, Joyce Carol Oates, John Cheever, William Vollmann, et al. (Cheever's not Post-Modernist, however.)

I also enjoy genre fiction and enjoy stories of Horror Gone Bad - "The Case of the Disappearing Cat," for example. (I keep my microwave pretty busy at night...Heheheh..[and a haw-haw for good measure].)
