Why pay over $7 for a book that's not even tangible? I think the bullying aspect is deplorable and I thin its reprehensible and irresponsible for a company to get together and try to "force" higher prices and selling their ebooks at a substantial increase. I don't believe the authors received extra monies from this increased pricing and that is probably the saddest part of this whole mess. I received $0.73 cents from Amazon and $7.10 from Barnes & Noble. I'm not sure how I feel about the settlement. It's great that I received some extra credit but at the same time, this shouldn't have happened in the first place. <br /><br />On another aspect, I think that many ebooks are outrageously priced. I get a little angry sometimes when I read a synopsis that I love and come to find out the ebook is almost $6 for 100 pages or less?!?! It's a slippery slope. I wonder how the money is allocated. I doubt the authors are getting the cut they deserve. Elizabeth H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04229301738737301045noreply@blogger.com
