Meh. I always used to wibble about the cost of newly released e-books being the same price as the hardbacks, but then I figured - hey, I want this book RIGHT NOW. I could use petrol and go to a bookshop and buy it, or I can order it on Amazon and wait for it to arrive. Or I could just see the newly-released-higher-price-ebook as a laziness tax, and pay it just for the instant gratification. I no longer understand all the foot-stamping about the higher prices. Don't like the price on immediate release? Then don't buy it straight away! I hate that people presume there's no cost involved in ebook production. Sure there's no physical cost, but the time put in to writing has to be worth something. It takes me seconds to spend a small percentage of a weekly wage to get a product a writer has spent months or years on. Who am I to complain about pricing?
