This is just the latest battlefront in the war with publishers.  When eBooks became popular several years ago, Simon and Schuster decided to charge the same amount for an eBook as they did a printed one.  Between the soft boycott of S&S's products and capitalism actually working like it should, they now charge around the same amount as every other electronic publisher.

Your average eBooks sell for around 20% of what a published hardbound book would.  I can understand that academic books should cost more due to the research costs and that they are bundling MindTap with it but it still seems like it's at least twice what they should be paying.
