Review: Not paying 5.20 for a short story!

Look, I can appreciate a great short story and a novella even more so (gee, remember when novellas were just called "short stories", before they found a way to write even less and still charge us more?), but I am NOT paying $5.20 for a short story. I read the free sample, and would have paid $0.99 for the whole story, but they have a lot of nerve asking for more than that for so little. Really, esp. for a digital book!! C'mon! I normally wouldn't wrtie a review for something I did not read through completely (unless it was so bad I couldn't make myself finish it), but in this case it is not the writing I am protesting, but the publisher's expectation that we are stupid enough to pay that much for a short story! If we don't complain in the one way available to us that makes an impact, then how else can we, aside from not purchasing it, take a stand?!
