   Since "JD" doesn't seem to want to answer, perhaps you can help clear    
   this up for me...   
      
   Please explain how offering a "premium" version of a product (in this    
   case a book) is "exploiting" anyone, or is "immoral".  Please.   
      
   As a follow on - is it also "immoral" to offer things like a First Class    
   seat on an airplane, at greatly increased cost?  Should that be    
   considered as exploiting the poor saps sitting in Economy?   
      
   How about eating at an upscale restaurant, when I could stay alive by    
   simply eating a can of dog food.  Am I exploiting the common folk by    
   spending 10 times what I might have otherwise?   
      
   Serious questions here.  Please help me understand.  Thanks.
