Seeing as how I can't get the ebook version of "The Stand" from Amazon, does anyone know of another store where I can get it for a lot cheaper than the prices that I'm seeing at the more popular stores (preferably in epub, lit, or mobi format)?

Books on Board - $47.50
ereader.com - $45
Fictionwise - $50

No one can get it from Amazon now. It was pulled for some mysterious reason.

As for where you can find it cheaper, I don't know. When it was released it was $9.99 at Amazon and about $18 at Fictionwise, then the pricing went wacky. Maybe you can find it at the library for now and buy it when the prices come back down.

I am glad that I got it when I did and that I downloaded it

I suggest emailing the publisher and telling them how outrageous the price is.

Well, I had the strangest behavior...after much googling, I managed to find a site that was selling The Stand in lit, mobi, and pdf format for $11.31 U.S. from a1books.com. The link to The Stand ebook is here

I thought this was the best I could do considering my other options and jumped at it and purchased the .lit version.

The strange part is that after purchasing it, the price immediately jumped up to $31.50 for the ebook on their site.

It still doesn't explain why the high price for this ebook but I'm happy that I was able to get it at a "reasonable" price.
