I wonder how many of the complainers are actually aware of the amount of work that publishers do, and how much it costs?
I for one never complained that publishers were greedy... I think businesses are in business to make money.

I just have a problem paying MORE for an ebook than I can currently buy the paper book for at a main stream retail store. So, I don't buy them... rather than complain... there's plenty out there to read that I don't think is reasonably priced.
