Here's an idea: vote with your wallet. My upper limit for e-books is $11.99. I might pay $12.99 if it's a book I really want, but the majority of books I purchase from the Kindle store are $9.99 or less.
The 60-day thing is an ICANN policy, so you can't really blame GoDaddy for that. You can, however, blame them for their awful UI and constant upselling during checkout.
