If they are not going to offer an eBook version, I, as a possible customer,
am willing to accept lower quality of print in black in white if it makes
the book "affordable" by me. If the cost of high quality is to high, you
will be locking out potential customers who have had their disposable income
dramatically reduced recenty, the US economy is still awful, and looks to
get worse. I would rather have a book with a back that breaks than no book
at all.
