Is the price of a latte enough?

I like to think that I’m providing a worthwhile and pleasant experience with my Full-Transcript Initiative. I enjoy reading thru the transcript because I also enjoy the podcast banter. I’m hoping others are also having a pleasant time.
If one prints out the transcript, takes the mp3 player and sits outside the office at lunchtime, or at the park, it’s probably more relaxing than reading the Times and sitting at Starbucks. A full-transcript is less than a tall mocha — should I be setting the price higher at $3.40? That’s still less than the price of a grande.

Currently, a tall, or 12-ounce, cup of Starbucks coffee costs between $1.40 and $1.65. Twelve-ounce lattes cost between $2.40 and $3.10, depending on the market, and a tall mocha costs between $2.70 and $3.40.

Would anyone pay $10 bucks for a Cpod Full-Transcript? They charge  $3.95 or $12.95 for a month at NPR or $29 for a Good-Morning America transcript . Or 99 cents at iTunes, is that still the hip way to go? Maybe it all yearns to be free, like C-Spans companion BookNotes website?
