This is by far the best article on ebook pricing I have read. I may quibble over some of the details/amounts or emphasis of argument, but for the most part I think the article was pretty accurate and enlightening. I'm particularly in agreement with his position concerning the publishers wanting to raise ebook prices because it helps brick and mortar / independent bookstores remain more competitive. After all, it is access to these retail outlets that provide publishers with any relevance.

One thing I did find a bit amusing was Anne Rice's quotes at the end of the article -- she is defending ebook publishing but ironically Interview With A Vampire and much of the rest of her work is not available as an ebook.
