There is no book I can think of at the moment that I'd buy for $1000. There are plenty I'd buy at $20 to $50 in preference to a comparable dollar value in $5 ebooks (or other inexpensive editions).

Some books have only so much market. Amazon could declare an August special, The Critique of Pure Reason, leather cover, sewn binding, acid-free paper, yours for $5 and free shipping. Do you think that this would rocket it up on the charts?
