You can blame that one on MobiPocket. They're the ones who don't seem to be keeping up. I'm assuming it's DRMed, so anyone else selling the MobiPocket version is going to have a price based on MobiPocket's wholesale price. Either MobiPocket missed a price drop, or their contract with S&S stinks.

The thing I find surprising about that list is that S&S is willing to undercut other e-book dealers with direct sales. If I were an e-bookseller, I would be incredibly ticked that my own supplier was cutting me off at the knees. I suppose it's possible that S&S had a price drop on the Adobe/MSReader/eReader formats and people like Fictionwise just haven't reacted yet, but I don't know. That would certainly make me feel better about S&S.
