Who buys hardcovers at full price? Certainly not Amazon or B&N or Borders customers.
Let's say there is an average of $8 average savings in buying a $9.99 new release e-book rather than a $17.99 discount hardcover which is probably more average. That would make the $140 (wifi-only) Kindle break even at 17 new releases--which is a sort of lower limit on the real break-even price, especially if you are buying new Agency mmpb releases for $7.99 that are sold at $7.19 or lower in paperback. The advantage is the free public domain and promotional books, which may present a savings comparable to or more than the hardcover savings.
Looks like the spammer's post is deleted, I can't see it.
