Also what about the cost of the cloud in this case? Bandwidth is cheep, but thousands of users thumping novels in .tif format up to the server takes it's toll. Plus there's a person with a pager taped to his junk who has to get out of bed or ditch his dinner or whatever if that server goes down. Because if you can't read your mail when the cloud goes out, are you going to settle back and wait an hour or two for it to come back online? No. You're gonna get right on to those guys and find out just what exactly is preventing you and exactly when it's gonna be fixed. So that guy doesn't come cheep.
I honestly don't understand why price should even be a consideration at this point. I realize that 3 to 800 dollars is a lot of money for low income market, but you've basicly just seen the price plummet by more than half. Why don't you just be happy that this is the way the market is trending?
