I was just browsing Amazon and I see some of the publishers are up their old trick of "forgetting", at least that's what they used to say back in the day, to lower the prices on ebooks that just had a corresponding paperback release. Years ago this was a problem, I hope it doesn't turn into one again.

I will say that while I don't really boycott anything that doesn't mean I buy much of the more expensive stuff either (two $12.99 books sense the Agency deal started), but then I'm used to the way higher pre-Kindle $9.99 pricing that used to exist too. I've been making great use of the Philly Free Library and have already read over 20 books from there, best $15 I've spent in a long time.
