I also don't view everything I buy as needing "value." Some times you're just paying for the experience. I have no problem dropping $8-14 or whatever on a movie ticket. I view paying $5-10 for an e-book as much the same--paying for the experience. It's not something I buy as an investment anticipating being able to sell it to recoup some costs etc.

But to each their own on that front. Digital content isn't for everyone. Like I said I don't buy it in some areas and do in others.
You're not right - you can have unlimited using rights for digital content. It's just that Apple isn't a good company and rips their customers the money out of their pockets.
