Nearly all books I have bought in the last 2 years are eBooks, and at least 1/2 to 1/4 of the cost of the same in paper. The books you see on this forum are simply out of my price range. At a lower price, you would expect many more sales, and isn't that what an author wants - more people with their book?
Don't go on about copying and piracy - you can scan and distribute a paper book just as easily.

I disagree. EBooks are not the wave of the future. I work in the book business and eBooks are only a part of total book sales. They did not replace traditional printed books. As far as prices, everyone can only buy what they can afford. The losses caused by piracy that affects my, and other book publishers, for each book is not a small amount.
