>>>This sort of misses the point. Pricing is generally driven by one thing - profit maximisation. That's very different to maximising volume sales. Sorry, no, I think you're unaware that there's no one price fits all in publishing. There's hardcover, trade paperback, mass-market paperback. That's three price levels, and not every book runs through all three. Once upon a time, there was only hardcover, then Penguin revolutionized the industry with cheap paperbacks. I never see publishers whining about the lower prices of MMPBs. So why do they do this with eBooks?
