I think you are wearing rose colored lenses. Many, many goods and services are sold for much more than it costs to make/provide them. Why single out ebooks?

I could care less what it cost the publisher to make an ebook. While I agree an ebook should be priced lower than a paper book, I don't think that price discrepancy should be more than 10 or 15%.

Even if I were to concede (which I don't) that books are a necessity - there are thousands of public domain books available for free.
