Here's another one, Rissa & Tregare, by F. M. Busby. $8.46 at Fictionwise, $2.75 at Amazon on the Kindle. e-reads has an even more expensive POD paperback.

Even worse:
Stephen King at Fictionwise. Carrie, The Night Shift, The Shining, Salem's Lot and The Stand, all "regular price" over $30, with micropay rebate drops it down to $24 to $37.50! ($20-31 in their club). Kindle price $1.75 to $7.99, most were about $2.50. Mass market paperbacks, about $7-10. On the other hand, Just After Sunset is currently free after micropay rebate and most of the rest Stephen King at Fictionwise is around $6.
