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.
