Bad news either way. Writers need to be paid. But should E cost as much as P? The one bright spot is that <em>if</em> I recall right, Penguin does reduce the prices of e-books that have been out there a bit. Thanks.

Penguin’s bestselling e-books generally cost as much to download as they do in print… See, there's the bad news. They'll NEVER want to cut prices to a reasonable level now. And you can bet they'll want to keep a writer's royalties as small as with p-books too! >>>Price had not affected sales, he said.
