[QUOTE="cranberry, post: 9040007, member: 7040349"] D&D is under monetized after all... ;) Seriously though, I would expect costs to increase over time, but given recent bad press, the timing may not be ideal. And it is a substantial increase. I'm not sure you can blame inflation 100%. There is a video on YT by Robert Reich that essentially says that company's are just using inflation to justify price increases. Nonetheless, digital books should never cost nearly as much as physical books. Yes, there is a cost to produce them, but there is no printing or holding (warehousing) costs. There is no distribution costs. Each incremental copy costs a fraction of a cent to "make". Most company's maintain computers and servers regardless of what or how much they produce (for Accounting, Marketing, HR, and other Admin functions), so the fraction of the server space needed to create digital copies is baked into their monthly server maintenance cost...and if you took the time to carve it out, the unit cost would likely be minimal.
