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".

I've paid $15 for E-ARC editions from BAEN, but for most e-novels I've usually paid under $10. And yes, this new pricing policy *WILL* force me to drastically cut my ebook purchases. (Do the publishers NOT get that we're in a depressed economy? That many readers don't have that much discretionary income and will NOT choose to forego food or utilities in order to continue to by 'X' number of ebooks at these higher prices?)
