True. This is an author I like, not one I love (bought Harper Lee's upcoming novel in Kindle and hardcover), and I consider her books like used books. I will read it once, and then delete it. A brand new book I would buy at $7.99 in a heartbeat. But something 15 years old? A lot of those aren't even available in new paperback.

Just seems too pricey for me. If I went to Books-A-Million, I could probably find it for a quarter, but it isn't worth it. Three of them will be here Friday, and one was only 10 cents cheaper than the kindle version, so I have one to read tonight.
