Thanks for the replies
With the lack of games, I'm sticking with my frustrations. Come on Amazon!!!
However, I'll concede that there are many, many great freebies and low priced Kindle books on the Amazon UK website. My post was prompted by the frustration I felt because I'd looked at half a dozen books with a view to buying them over the last few days and four of them cost more than the dead tree version, sometimes by a large margin too.
The thing is, I'm used to buying many full priced, new books (real ones), but also lots and lots of used books too. I'm happy enough to buy Kindle ebooks that are priced even slightly cheaper than the real thing. But, I'm never going to pay for an ebook that costs more and that has VAT added too. Dick Turpin would have been proud! Is it just down to greedy publishers?
I really need to begin looking at the half full glass, don't I?
