Trade paper editions and ebooks
An observation:

Whatever politicized, polarized stance one may take regarding the pricing of ebooks, we sometimes (in my opinon) often forget that the pricing of Trade paper editions are often MORE expensive than its ebook. counterpart. [NOTE: I misphrased myself and have corrected the above sentence.]

A case in point:

Elizabeth Kostova's novel, The Historian, is priced at $15.99 as a new Trade paper edition. As an ebook, the price is $8.79 from Connect.

I'm sure there are plenty of other instances where the price of an ebook is considerably cheaper than its counterpart Trade edition.

As I indicated at the beginning, this is an observation only and is not meant to alienate contrary views that verge on the histrionic.
