The Steinbeck prices really tick me off as well. Of Mice and Men is $9 and so is The Pearl. These books are only 100 pages each.

The publishers and Amazon are really missing the boat on the older classics. When people get an eReader one of the first things they do is start looking at acquiring some of the classics. It may be classic sci-fi, or fantasy, or mystery, or literature, but they should provide bundles of these classics. If they had all of Steinbeck's books, or Asimov's books, or Agatha Christie's books available as package deals they would sell a ton. But, nooooo. Instead they charge $9 for a 50+ year old book that is only 100 pages.
