Why do e-books cost so much?
Advertisements [?]
I downloaded the Kindle app because I spotted some Bobbsey Twins available for free. Free is good. Then I went in hunt of some Terry Pratchett and was shocked to find that they want as much for an e-book as a paper back--$7.99. $7.99 and they don't have to print it or send a truck to deliver it. A lot of other recent popular books seem to have the same pricing strategy. I think my Kindle app will be mainly for older out-of-copyright stuff that's available cheap or free.
