Amazon is just selling the hard cover at the same competitive discounting they've always been doing. It's the anti competitive agency that's at fault here.
Yeah after looking around a bit I discovered that price was fairly typical. Looks like I was off base there, but they've openly used that tactic in the past which is why I thought so. I guess the publisher feels that price is effective, and sells enough that the number of people opposed to it don't negate sales enough to worry. They could even be intentionally making the hardcover more attractive.

Despite all the complaining, most Connelly fans who want the book will buy it in some form. This latest uproar could very well be part of a turning point, though. We'll see.
