But on a slightly different note isn't it Apple we now have to thank for changing the way ebook sales work so that the publisher now sets the price rather than the middle man which has resulted in ebook prices actually becoming even more stupid?

I posted a rant on my blog about ebook prices being ridiculous and the author Neal Asher seems to be in agreement. But anyway I'm sure there's a thread or two somewhere about the stupidity of the current ebook pricing system.
You clearly have strong opinions about Apple and iPad. You've been arguing that iPad buyers don't know what they're buying, don't need what they're buying, are overpaying, etc. Now you add your book-pricing rant.

You're basically saying that others' priorities and buying decisions should match yours, and because they don't, then Apple or iPad buyers are (fill in disparaging comments of your choice).
