[QUOTE="Irda Ranger, post: 3897885, member: 1003"] Yo! Price-of-book complainers! Have any of you gone to the Amazon store and actually looked at the prices? $9.99 is how much the advertised New York Times bestsellers cost (for new hardcovers selling for $25). It goes up or down from there. If you look at "All books" and sort by price you'll see that the cheapest book sells for $0.01 One frickin' cent. For a chemistry textbook. You can also get following books for the list prices: An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations, by Adam Smith - $0.99 The Federalist Papers, by Alexander Hamilton - $2.69 Stranger in a Strange Land, by Robert A. Heinlein - $6.39 (only the most recent version is available for Kindle, which can only be bought new in hard cover for $32.95) Holy Bible (King James Version), Old & New testament - $0.80 Need I go on? Not every book is as competetively priced (the most expensive book in the Kindle store it $1,079.96(!!!), but it's incorrect to think they're all $9.99 [/QUOTE]
