What really tees me off about this is that I can walk into Costco and buy almost any new release hardback for $15.19 plus 5% sales tax. I was just there today and that's what hardcovers are mostly priced at. Paperbacks are usually $4.99 or $5.99. MMPB a bit higher.
Why should I expect to pay $14.99 for an ebook that will have DRM, only a 50% chance of real cover art, and no ability to resell or giveaway? Plus add that the formatting is rarely as good as the hardback and all I see is that the publishers are greedy and have a very low opinion of ebook consumers. Another thing that upsets me is how little authors make off of any book. I wish my favorite authors had tip jars on their websites so that I could pay them directly.
