I don't think I've ever paid more than $15 for an ebook. Maybe I've paid $16, but that is about my limit. I know some books have been priced at $7.99 for print and $14.00 for ebooks. I won't buy those either. What I do instead is order them from PaperbackSwap.com and get them for free. You'd think the publisher would rather sell me the book for $8.00 than have me get it for free but that seems to be the choice they are making. I love PBS! It is like a legal "darknet".
