Now wait a minute....why the format based price?
I was just searching around for "Dying Inside" by Robert Silverberg and found
it in a variety of formats at Books On Board but why is the MS Reader version cheaper by a few $ than the other formats? http://www.booksonboard.com/index.ph...43057&v=buynow |

There are 2 MS Reader format versions listed, with 2 different prices. I wonder if the versions are any different.

I did notice that after I'd posted the above. It likely is that one (the lower priced one) is a data entry error.

While you are at it:
Why does Fictionwise have "Borrowed Stilletttos" as a multiformat (no DRM) book for $4.50 regular price and Amazon have the same book for $9.99? |

Yeah, Stiff is $7.96 at amazon and B&N but Sony is $12.55 (I still don't get this?) Why such a big price variation for an electronic version?
