I was hasty in pointing to Sony as the main culprit in charging too much for ebooks. My point is just that what this guy on eBay is doing isn't all that much more sketchy or immoral than what eBook sellers are doing. I mean, he or she took the time to write out a guide and convert it to pdf, and people elsewhere on this forum used that as an argument that it makes sense for ebooks to be as expensive or more than hardcover books.

In another thread, I pointed out that a book found in MobiPocket format was found at the Connect store for about $2 cheaper. granted however that the price is a hardcover price when the dead tree edition has already gone to mass-market paperback. So that does make the ebook edition's price way too high.
