Why are they charging more for eBooks? They are MUCH cheaper to produce and the margins have to be sky high- no inventory to deal with, no returns, very low production costs, etc. How have they all managed to push prices up when costs are much lower? It is not just one of them, but all of them-- looks like maybe there is something for justice to look at here as well.
