If a publisher wants to charge more for a new book (in any form), that’s ok with me. Up to a point. If a publisher wants to charge a lot more for an ebook version then they can go to heck.

At this time, I would be ok with paying $10 for a new release non-DRM ebook. $5 - $6 for an older non-DRM ebook. But only about $2 - $3 for a new release DRM ebook.

What happens in my case is that a publisher will spend a lot of money building up excitement for the next "BIG SELLER". But I'm not willing to pay $25 for it now, so I'll wait. But a year from now, when the book is cheaper, I'll have forgotten about it.
