Many of us seem to be in that fortunate position where buying a book or two, even at relatively high prices, is not a big deal. For me, and for some but not all others, it appears that the question is more about the value that we get for our money. By way of example, the Kindle edition of John Sandford's recent book, Field of Prey, is available for Australian $18 (actually $17.99) from Amazon Australia, a price which was of course set by the Publisher. At current exchange rates this amounts to $13.65 US Dollars. Can I afford to pay this. Fortunately, yes. Is it good value? Is it a fair and reasonable price for an ebook in todays market? In my opinion, the price is about double what it should be. If I bought at this price I would feel that I was being well and truly ripped-off.
