> If a physical book and an ebook are the same price, then make your decision based onhly on which format you want to read in. Why shouldn't consumers benefit from a change in technology making production easier? Why do you propose that all the benefits should remain with the creator? It's not unreasonable for a society to expect that people who benefit from its progress share that benefit with the other members. Expecting ebooks to be cheaper because of reduced production costs is precisely that expectation -- that publishers which benefit from society contribute to society.
