[QUOTE="Doc750, post: 991137, member: 89450"] [b]E-book prices?[/b] I don't understand the need to charge $15-25+ for an e-book, other then of course profitability. But the expense on their end has been significantly reduced. There is no need for paper, distribution, transportation, logistics, storage, employee, printing unsold copies, etc, etc. A book that is 100 pages long, or 1000. All your doing is transmitting a small file. Not to mention you've completely eliminated the used book market. Everyone will have to buy a new copy. I never really gave kindle, or any the other ones a real shot. I always just got the paperbacks. But honestly I could see myself getting books for the iPad. But the price should be drastically cut. And forcing Amazon to raise their prices to match the Apple store prices, was a load of crock too. As consumers we should just boycott the entire e-book market, until they bring their prices in line with the cost reduction benefits. [/QUOTE]
