They are pretty much the same thing as far as I can see, and as you say yourself, these kind of sales tactics are common practise. Immaterial of being bothered with it or not, seems pointless to me to target one retailer and start a thread about their little white lies?

Well, two reasons: 1/ I guess I should not have mentioned Amazon in the title at all, as it seems the very name derails a thread. I don't think I can change the title, but if anyone know how, I'll be happy to do it. 2/ Maybe I'm dumb and old, but it does bother me to see supermarket tactics invading the world of books, digital or not. To be honest, I regret starting the thread, as I feel fairly lonely in my opinion.
