I'd like to see a breakdown to justify the cost of an e-zine. I suppose someone might argue that they've bought software to produce it, but I'm not convinced you claim that back from the buyer!
That's exactly what I'd like to see, actually (and from print-zine publishers as well, mind you). I've seen people say it's for software to secure the site, but... I mean, we all pay for things like that, just as a part of being in fandom, and giving back to all the other people who are in fandom, whose work we've enjoyed, so it seems odd that some people should charge money for that...

And you know that I adore printed zines - but as you say, the catch is that it assumes the editor is playing fair with the prices...
