If a book costs 80€ for a ten hour read, it's a complete ripoff that nobody would buy.
Unless it was a new Harry Potter apparently.
You still had the choice between a cheaper pocket book and the bound version.
But what if the book were titled, "Here's how I became a millionaire" or "steps to become a millionaire" or stuff like that
Those are still a ripoff at 1€
Well, it would really just be a 2 - 10 second read, depending upon how fast you read, so...
On the other hand, do you consider time taken imagining the story, as part of the reading time, because I know a book that would have a months long reading time in that case.
