I'm not chuckling. It's a personal choice, and yours is perfectly valid; for others, $15 isn't a good value proposition for most ebooks (with their advantages and disadvantages taken into account).

I spent much more than $10 per ebook back in the days when I was reading from Peanut Press on my Palm, and would likely still pay that for selected books (so long as I can strip the DRM).

I just think that it should be up to Amazon (or any other retailer) as to whether they want to charge lower prices for their ebooks, not a dictate from the publishers.
