I was never a big e book user, but I seem to recall that originally ebooks were considerably less expensive than print, on the scale of a fourth the cost perhaps?

Now they cost too much and frankly are difficult to read.

Yes, that is my recollection too. There was a whole lot of collusion going on to artificially inflate the price of ebooks. Of course Apple was the ringleader and they were fined 450 millon dollars for their role.

Nonetheless, the price of ebooks has never returned to their original pricing. And I'm not about to spend $12 on a can of air.
