I pulled 4 books off my shelf to check on availability and pricing.
The 5000 year leap 1981.
Amazon ebook = 9.99, paper back free ship (we have a prime acct) = 11.87.
B&N ebook = 9.99 (assume no shipping or download fees?), pb = 11.87 plus ship
One Bullet Away 2005.
Amazon ebook = 9.66, paper back free ship = 5.98
B&N ebook = 9.99, pb = 10.21 plus ship
God's Middle Finger 2008.
Amazon ebook = 11.99, paper back free ship = 10.20
B&N ebook = 11.99, pb = 10.56 plus ship
A Patriot's history of the United States 2004.
Amazon ebook = 18.99, paperback free ship = 7.98.
B&N ebook = 18.99, pb = 14.88 plus ship
I assume these ebook prices are as high as they are simply due to market forces. Strong demand et al? And would it be reasonable to assume that ebook prices will remain high for some years to come given the relatively recent phenomenon of ereaders and the likely growing popularity of such?
None of these ebooks are available in either of the two counties libraries I have cards for and they are two of the largest counties population wise in the state of WA. Near as I can tell the search looks for the ebooks in all of the libraries within the county.
Now, how do I search for other places to buy these ebooks that might have better pricing. A general google search or is there some sort of ebook clearing house website that will search most of the ebook sales websites for these titles?
Thanks
