Price for set bought individually: $23
Price for set bought as a single collected edition: $27.
That's great. Very sensible. Add that to the fact that the first three hits on a search for "Suzanne Collins Hunger Games" are not books by Suzanne Collins.
Meanwhile, over at Amazon Kindle store:
Book 1: $5
Book 2: $7.40
Book 3: $5.80
Price for set bought individually: $18.20
Price for set bought as a single collected edition: $19
Still not sensible, in terms of the discrepancy between the indiviudual prices and the price of the collection, but a lot closer.
So why would I spend $23 or $27 at Kobo when I can have the same thing for just over $18 at Amazon?
I'd rather have the Kobo editions for my Kobo reader, but the Amazon version is not a challenge to read on the Kobo either. I do it all the time.
If I decide to buy the books, it's no contest. For a difference of a dollar or two, I'd go ahead with the Kobo versions. For $5 difference I'll go to Amazon.
