ebooks don't have a high cost, and their current prices aren't a problem, except maybe for publishers, editors, and authors. The cost of a book isn't even remotely based on the cost of paper. Books don't cost very much to print. They cost a lot to produce. Just because you know that bits are free to copy, doesn't mean the book was free to produce.
- chrismcb 12y agoWhen an ebook is priced higher than a physical book then the ebook has a high cost. Maybe the high cost is justified because people are willing to pay for the convenience. But I'm not, I'll purchase whichever is cheaper, or not purchase at all.
- clarky07 12y agoi'm not sure publishers are ever pricing ebooks higher than the physical books, and certainly not often. I'd like to see that if they are. Yes you can buy used for almost nothing, but that's not really a fair comparison. It's already been sold once and is in used condition.
