What is the dif.between paperback and mass market paperback?I would gladly pay 5.99 for the e-book but it is 9.99.
In this case I believe paperback means Trade paperback, which is like a large, nicer paperback. Mass markets are the paperbacks that you see most of the time, the small ones with darker paper.

Tor is a part of MacMillan, a publishing company that is rejecting Amazon's price point of 9.99 for hardcovers, and have decided to price their ebooks from anywhere between 5.99 and 14.99. As you can see here, they're charging a lot more than 5.99, unfairly.
