No, it was not an "Amazon is evil thread", thank you for not putting words in my mouth. In return, I will try to explain myself more clearly.

Yep.
And yes, I maintain the calculus made by Amazon is bogus (not that they are the only ones, I have always been suspicious of any "you save $$$" tags). The book is listed at $15.99, and the audiobook version at $25.96; total: $41.95. At Amazon price, I pay $9.99 for the book and $3.99 for the audio; total: $13.98. I would have thus have saved $27.97, i.e: 67%.
Now yes, that's actually a good offer and it's much better than a kick in the butt. I still take exception to the labelling of the website. I do not SAVE 87% anywhere in that transaction. And I am a little worried no one else sees that... (checks if he has taken his pills in the morning...)
