The list price for the trade paperback is $17.00. Not much of a discount either way.

Book is over 4 years old.
The price for hardback and trade is usually very similar. And yes the ebook price is set relative to existing paper versions. Maybe the book is not selling enough for doing a mass market paperback.

I had actually not heard about these books and I try to follow the field and I go to a lot of sf conventions.
