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]?" )
I don't consider this book to be chick-lit, but probably I don't understand the genre -- it's one that I tend to shy away from too.

I think I did pay $9.99 for it; my first books were between $9.99 and $12.99. I normally paid $12.99 to $15.99 for paperback books or $15.99 to $24.99 for hardback books at the time so anything less than $12.99 seemed acceptable to me.

I happened to have the link handy -- I keep a list of links to my books just in case I start talking about it online; it's faster than looking it up -- so I don't know if the Sony store was up when I originally posted it, but it is working now.

I loved it and it is one of my favorite books -- one of maybe two books that I have re-read since aquiring my Reader.

(It took me a couple of reads to figure out why you wouldn't have put the name of the book in -- until I put the actual name in for myself. )
