But there is also a "Bargain Hardcover" usually meaning some kind of limited quantity remainders that Amazon got a deal on from the publisher. So while they still have bargain copies the Hardcover is cheaper, because the ebook price is based on a discount from the publishers list price which is $27.50. Most reports have Amazon paying around 50% of list, they're discounting the ebook at 45% off list.
