The Price of E-Books - NYTimes.com "Booksellers Wary About Holiday Sales" (Business Day, Dec. 16) notes that e-book sales are down without citing what is perhaps the major reason for the decline. Digital sales were attractive to readers like me when most new titles were available for $9.99 or less. Now the price of e-books is in many cases approaching the cost of print books. No wonder "the e-book thrill is gone."
