If you mean the ebook is expensive (it's $12.74 at B&N), I agree, but then I don't think the prices the publishers are asking for many ebooks are reasonable and I don't buy them.

I'm willing to buy a hardcover that I can either keep, gift to one of my kids or a friend, or resell once I've read it. I'm not one of the "ebook only" readers.


Yes, I meant ebook, rather than book.

I also meant relative to the first, although I have no idea what the price of that first one was when it first came out. (I'm talking ebooks.)
