I agree. I'll be buying less ebooks from the big publishers, and more from indies. There's no excuse for overpriced ebooks; it's bad for authors, bad for readers, bad for literature as an art form. The big publishers will soon see more and more readers buying books from their competition -- the indie authors and indie publishers. Right now, these guys aren't serious competitors, but they'll become so if ebook prices inflate.
