A Dance with Dragons - $15 dollars

They've priced the new book in the song of ice and fire series higher than I normally pay for e-books.

Kindle Edition: $14.99 (U.S)
Hardback: $18.81

Anyone who intends to get it? I'm still thinking about it
I was disappointed over book 4 so I might wait until the last two books 6 and 7, is published before getting it.

** Looks at the price on kobo **
http://kobobooks.com/search/search.h...with%20dragon&

Are they out of their minds ??!!! List price: 29,89 €. Now what.

But the actual price, 16,25 € is better.

I went ahead and bought it . I do not feel like re-reading book 4. Best to start with book 5 while book 4 is still fresh in mind.

Guess I won't be reading any of Martin's books anytime soon. I have strict price limit of $8, I would much rather pay less then more and there a a lot of fools out there who will pay anything for anything at all.

I consider most books under $10 dollar to be an ok price. But I have no problem paying $15 for a 1000 page book.

Shoot, you KNOW I bought it. I would have paid hardcover price without blinking just for the convenience of not having to carry a 1000 page book around...
