Some publishers think of the electronic book as a modification of the dead wood book. They produce the dead wood book then they scan it into electronic form. Thus the electronic book is an additional step beyond the dead wood book and thus incurs more work and costs more. Some companies don't think of the electronic book as an after thought they think of it as an intermediate step in the production of the dead wood book. First they create the electronic book then they create the dead wood book from the electronic one, thus the electronic book is an earlier stage of production and requires less work and thus costs less. Some publishers think of them as the same stages of production they produce them as parallel stages of production and thus they cost the same. Personally I have two rules: I will never buy a book that costs more than $8 and no electronic books that cost more then the dead wood ones.
To other forum members - have I made any mistakes here?
