really the main difference between the cost of an ebook and the cost of a physical book is the cost of the paper and the cost of shipping, if even that
but yeah at any rate the only books that go for ninety-nine cents are things like the monster porn with the cheesy titles that basically wouldn't exist without online publishing platforms
There are some ridiculously expensive ebooks too. Seen some with the price of around hundred - the scientific stuff, usually. Oh, and beause they are not general interest, noone is interested in pirating them either.
No necessity for shipping, and thus availability in my country, is the main advantage of ebook. Another big advantage to me is size and unobtrusivness - I can much more easily read a ebook during commute or work (if we have a quiet time).
