Hey, I don't begrudge the publishers their due, believe me. They've got an item people want and cost is apparently no object for this consumer base. Indeed, the HP books look like a bargain compared to what academic monographs sell for.
As for libraries, I think everyone should have easy access to one--in their living rooms, if possible.
