Electronic books are too expensive?
No paper, no printing costs, no shipping costs and delivery, no inventory, no shops, fuel costs, utility costs, etc. Why eBooks more expensive than paperback or hardcover? The editors asked the same fate as the music industry? People feel cheated and can start copying illegally.
I've never seen an e-book also expensive a return, perhaps the paper, but not difficult. They seem very cheap and not very expensive. The price is determined by the pages and the authors state the time the book was. The price of the book is not intended to offset the resources used, is to pay the author and publisher. An author is not paid on time. They are paid when you complete a book and how many selling books. So I think it's fair to expect a lot from a book because they have an hourly or monthly.
