ok, to get this out of the way: i think that ebooks offer a whole lot more functionality than a paper book.

BUT i also think that an ebook being more expensive than the hardcover is in no way justified.

we had this with the sony connect store. they listened and adjusted the prices. now i find the same thing in the mobipocket store.

for example the new warren ellis novel (crooked little vein):
amazon (hardcover): $14.93
mobipocket: $17.93

see, i really want to save the trees and all, but there is no way i'm going to pay that kind of money for an e-version of a book.

any idea if they will adjust the prices at the mobipocket store?
