Hmm. Over how many books were the bank charges amortized? And by what percentage did they raise the price of each book? And, most important, how many books would have been unbought had you anticipated the charges? Critical info is missing.

Not trying to give you a hard time. This is just rueful recognition that even as we think we've got it figured out, the ebook gods throw us a curve.

I was lucky with India. During the 90% off madness, I was charged only a few pennies per transaction. So it certainly can't be worse for books that were essentially free.
