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.
The main attraction of ebooks for me was free stuff. You welcome.

Who decides fair btw? I decide fair is 1960 price of .33c per small novel. I still have a lot of those paperbacks from Ballantine picked up from second hand.
And for those who don't understand why some people chuckle at you if you buy $30 ebooks, well there was a story in Endgadget about $3 million dollar iphone. I chuckled.
