But the reason i have to pay twice is plain and simple that they want to make more money and itīs not a whole ton of different people making money off it but basically the same group of people simply making more money.

The nice thing about big publishers overpricing their e-books is that I've discovered and supported some decent new sci-fi authors who have priced them very reasonably. You just decide you don't want to pay that much, then look around. At $3 or $4, I can handle the occasional dud in return for saving money and still finding some pretty good reads.
