That is ridiculus. The price of an electronic book should be more than 1/2 that of a print book. This is due to no printing, paper or other associated costs. It is a total ripoff changing the same as a conventional book.

Comment on New Library Related Legal Opinion – Collura v. City of Philadelphia by plaintiff

They surely did not go by looks… Did they need to show something to sit there?
