That, IMO, isn't the major issue with publishing or buying books.

Issues:
  1. Geo-limited publishing especially in English due to world market carve-up making titles (paper or ebook) unavailable as the publishers for other regions have no obligation to take a contract, or existing one may be exclusive.
  2. Poor print quality on paperbacks
  3. Poor or excessive formatting on fiction ebooks
  4. DRM
  5. Amazon exclusivity (Self Pub and small publishers). Large publishers are not affected by KDP/KU rules set by Amazon.
  6. Google, Apple, Amazon etc eBook retail prices set by publisher/author. They should set a price to the Retailer and then retail web site should charge any price.
  7. Misleading Blurbs
  8. Misleading or too many Tag Categories
