The seller said they were legit....but has since been removed from ebay, so I assume they were not...lesson learned, won't do that again. Just a pity that the ereadercompanies don't do a deal to provide ebooks at a reasonable price. If they can sell a paperback for £10 and make a profit, they should be able to sell it as an ebook at less than half that and still make a bigger profit.
Seems to me they're just being greedy, or do you think the cost of paper, printing, storage, handling, shipping, etc, is an incidental cost.
It's going to be like music downloads, they'll keep charging what the traffic will bear, making it very tempting to get "illegal" downloads. I have in excess of 500 of my favorite books, that I'd like to have available on my ereader, but with charges of 5-10 dollars for each one, it's just not an option.
I suppose someday they'll do the maths and realize they're depriving themselves of a huge market.
Rant over...
Thanks for all the help folks, really nice to find it for a newby like me.
Cheers,
Greg
