How about Matterhorn, the recent Vietnam novel? 600+ pages, 12 hours of reading, 83 cents per hour. A much better deal in terms of cost per hour than a movie, a bottle of beer, a cup of coffee or just about anything else short of sitting in the sun on a park bench.

i tend to agree. i could go pay $60 for an xbox game and be done with it in 5 hours. pound for pound books are still the best value for your entertainment dollar.
of course people will look for the best price but with ebooks theres something for every budget.
