the probability of my paying $15 for space vamires part 3 is extremely low. 
Gone are the days when I’d drop $20-25 or more on Weber in hardback. $15 
for an ebook is simply greed. Especially as I’m not too fond of the Kindle 
UI. and would have to deDRM it and convert it to EPUB to feed it to an ebook 
reader that I like. And to put it where Amazon can’t touch it; they have 
been known to reclaim ebooks. see

I don’t trust them.
