[QUOTE="bluefox9er, post: 990471, member: 131024"] Ok, so now apple are trying to make ebooks sexy, it begs the question on what is a fair price for an ebook? unlike a normal book, ebooks need no tree cutting, saw mills,paper mills, inks, binders and manufacturing, storage,shipping, shelf space and retail over heads. Heck there's no difference between hardback and paperback any more. 'ebook sellers' will have literally zero cost ...so what would be a fair price to pay for one? I think anything in the $14 to $10 range is simply disgusting. theoretically, it's the authors royalties, the rest belongs to apple. also, consider that once you hav e 'read' an ebook you will not be able to pass/loan it to someone else, or donate it to a library. I'm sticking to REAL books unless they remove DRM...which they have no real right to force on us to begin with. [/QUOTE]
