E-book Price Investigation

Quote:
The boom in eBooks is a goldmine for publishers and technology firms, because the costs are a fraction of those involved in printing, transporting and selling books.

Despite the savings, the prices of blockbuster eBooks are often higher than the real thing.
Quote:
Yesterday it announced a formal investigation to discover whether international publishers HarperCollins, Penguin, Hachette Livre, Simon & Schuster and Germany’s Verlagsgruppe Georg von Holtzbrinck have ‘engaged in anti-competitive practices’.
Quote:
A parallel lawsuit has been launched against publishers and Apple in the U.S. It suggests eBook prices have been inflated by 33 to 50 per cent as a result of collusion.

Bah!!!! I hope to get an e-reader sooooooon... and I truly am surprised that e-books can actually cost the same as a hard copy!! See?

Amazon.com: matthew reilly: Books


It's the same for a bunch of other author's names I searched for on Amazon. :/



Do you buy e-books?
How much do you think they should cost in relation to a hard copy?
