  Well in economic terms, it will be bad because of the opportunity costs. If gas prices weren’t high, more money could be spent on other things.

  I’m gonna go with “bad”—because, as the prices of everything else goes up, ebook prices will too. The ebook people have overhead costs—electricity, rent, and so on—and somewhere in the chain of suppliers, gas/oil prices going up affects everybody else downstream. That’s what causes inflation.

  Absolutely right slick! The prices of most commodities are increasing day by day. And next is queue is the Oil. Think from the middle income group’s pt of view. If the oil prices ll rise, the economy is going to fall sureshot.
