Dune at Kindle Store

Even the paperback is expensive at $11.56.

You can buy the paperback from the Borders website for $7.99 and I saw a hardcover version on sale at a B&M Waldenbooks for the same price.

I don't have to think long about which store would get the cash.

One thing I'd never heard of until coming here was buying 2nd hand and slicing the spines off to be scanned. Learning about that alone was worth registering.
The list price of the paperback is $17.00. So to the Agency 5, $15.99 is a discount. This is how they think. They don't think but what about discounts on the paper version that will then make it cheaper. Well, they don't allow discounts on the eBooks. They basically feel that customers are stupid and they don't give a darn about us.
