a whine from a European... I would even pay for the whole collection of Timothy Zahn SW ebooks, even $10 a piece to have them nicely formatted and to keep and re-read. But they are not available to me (another whole story of geographically restricted, I know). "The Choices of One" most recent release is some $16 at Amazon and 14,50 euro at Kobo (basically the same thing) I bought it from Kobo for the ePub ereader I have (Opus).
Nowadays I just check Limited Time Offers from Amazon and "buy" for $ 0.00 whatever I think is of random interest. Zahn's "The Heir to the Empire" anniversary edition is available but is just volume 1 for $20 ! That is absolute rip off. The only other I paid for from Amazon was some slightly less than $10 for "Eyewall" and that was a good read (couldn't stop till 7 am)
I don't want to clutter my house with pbooks anymore since I have ereader but I won't agree to broad daylight theft right out of my pocket either. Ereader is the only way for me since I don't live in a country of origin, and here no access to library or bookstore in my language (and English very limited). And postage prices double the price of books.
One thing I noticed is when there is a list of Free books for Kindle at Amazon here at MR whenever I check the link a $0 for US is some $5 for Europe. Free indeed.
