Well, I don't 100% agree with that. There
are certain kinds of books that can be overpriced, but the key is that the
content is overpriced, or that the book is misrepresented in some way. For example, I bought a Kindle book recently that was titled something like, "How to Win at Poker". The book was $1, so I took a shot on it. It turned out to just be a book on the various
rules of poker. There were no strategy discussions at all. I didn't bother reviewing the book, because I do think a rule guide to poker might be worth $1, but if the same book is priced $9.99,
that, IMO, would deserve a one-star rating based on price.
