There's no wonder that publishers are wary of the ebook market when there are people who see them simply as a way to get cheap books. It's quite sickening to see the number of people willing to spend $300 on a shiny toy but will carp at the idea of paying a fair price for books.

Since price seems to matter so much to you, here's a thought - sell your Kindle and buy paperbacks instead.

Hey, one of the main selling points of the Kindle for me was the $9.99 price.

Amazon seemed to rather think so, too, since it was one of the major, major features they pushed in advertising the Kindle.



maybe we should go back to buying paperbacks. Second-hand paperbacks, for which the publisher and author never see a penny.
