That may be the cause of a strange phenomenon I experienced just after I bought my first Kindle Kbd:
Lee Child
ebook in paperback format: $6,99
The same Lee Child
ebook in "Airport format": $16,99
(for those not in the know, they are larger, with the same text, fontsize a little larger and weight a lot more). Exact same content, twice the price. ??
I ran away from Amazon immeditely I saw this - by the way, the books were in English.
I quite liked my Kindle Kbd, but saw the Kobo Aura advertised. A lot more money, but the addition of a backlight and a micro-SD slot, plus the much larger viewing area, tempted me. It also supports mobi
and epub, which not many ebook readers do. Thought I would alternate between the two, but within a couple of days my Kindle Kbd was left to languish, alone and no longer loved, on my bookshelf.
I loan it out now to people who want to try an eReader but don't want to invest straight off. Most get converted.
