i can understand publishers have development costs and need to recoup those as well as make a profit, but when they have near free "publishing" and distribution costs for edelivery they have no justification for their prices. obviously they're testing what the market will bear, hopefully the public won't be buying into this $5 an issue nonsense for too long. these prices are certainly keeping me from picking up any subscriptions, especially when the content is available on the publishers, or others, web sites for free.
