You could format it in the export template (but why would you? I will read a $5.99 book today?).
BTW what would you do if you bought a book while traveling where the currency was not the same as here? (Yes, I bought books while on holiday in the UK)
1. You are right. the format was given as an example under floating point, not integer.

2. I use it as a way to see: (a) How much I've spent over time. (b) How many ebooks I buy vs how many I freebies I acquire. (c) Yes, I have used cost to encourage me to read something, simply because I spent money on it, in the past. (d) I've also used it to help meet criteria for certain book club and/or reading challenges.

3. Now that I have that question answered, is there a way to get the price to show in "Book Details" when the price is set at "$0.00", or will I have to fudge it and set my freebies to a penny each?
