We can watch "free" broadcast TV with ads, or watch paid channels. We can listen to "free" AM/FM radio with ads, or listen to internet or subscription services. The same kind of thing is bound to happen sooner or later......
Speaking of buying eBooks, The latest Dean Koontz Frankenstein book just came out and at Fictionwise, it's $20.40. That's the club price after a 36.25% discount. Now I can go to Borders and get the hardcover for $14.95. That's one example of stupid pricing. Sony does have the book for $9.99 which is a lot more reasonable. I don't know what others are charging for it.
