I don't need my opinion to be duly noted by anyone. But hopefully you've seen, via the valuable wisdom so many others have shared (I kept reading some) why your initial thoughts on this topic just don't work, and your suggestions are unnecessary.
What prompted this anyway? I don't see many examples of what I'd consider egregiously priced books on the forums here, and the ones that do get posted generally are ignored and get quickly buried by new sale threads. It just isn't a problem that needs addressing here, IMO.
