There's something that I don't understand... When we complain about high e-book prices, publishers respond by saying that producing an e-book costs as much as a dead-tree book, because it's going through the same processes etc. etc. But do they think that it's OK to provide the market with low-quality e-books? Do they really think that it's OK to do a worse job than a book-pirate in scanning a book and selling it the same price as a dead-tree book? Is that why e-books are so expensive... to pay for the not-so-state-of-the-art scanner?
