I'm not into 'chick-lit', but being possessed by the spirit of Schubert sounds interesting, so I just tried to follow the link, and the Sony Store is down while "undergoing maintenance." From my previous experience with the Sony store, I hope they mean "renovations". Sony makes fine readers, but their store sucks.

So I looked at the Amazon site, and discovered these prices:
* Kindle Edition -- $9.99
* Hardcover -- New from $0.57
* Paperback -- New from $7.64
As it is the publishers, and not Amazon, who set the prices; I begin to suspect that some publishers are trying behind the scenes to kill ebooks.

So how did you like the book? (Notice I didn't ask, "So how did you like [INSERT BOOK TITLE HERE]?" )
