    This article is a bit too optimistic, IMHO: The bill is a private member's bill, which rarely pass. I am not sure whether the Ontario population is large enough to bring about cascading effects....

    This article is a bit too optimistic, IMHO:

    • The bill is a private member's bill, which rarely pass.
    • I am not sure whether the Ontario population is large enough to bring about cascading effects. Canada as a whole has a market smaller than California's. Ontario, while Canada's largest province, obviously is an even smaller market.

    I'd love to be proven wrong, of course.

      They should be somewhere within the range it costs the company to make it. Thats fairly easy to prove. If they are charging $500 for a manual you can tell it didn't cost that much to print a book

      How do you determine what is a "fair price?"
