    Yes, I find it quite offensive to have to pay 30 smackaroos for a pdf!

    Has it gotten to the point where the greed of publishers is so great that
    they don't want to print books, pay for shipping those books or for shelf
    space?

    Very offensive behavior indeed!

    By the way, this particular pdf is probably worth $2.95, so th price is only
    off by a factor of ten.
